Package: cyrus-common-2.2 Version: 2.4.13-1 Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: piuparts
Hi, while doing upgrade tests squeeze -> wheezy with piuparts I noticed that upgrading the cyrus packages failed because the database upgrade could not be performed as dbX.Y-util were missing. Even after enabling installation of Recommends (which is disabled by default in piuparts), db4.7-util was missing. Since the transitional cyrus-*-2.2 packages are most likely installed/upgraded on old installations only that will need to perform a database upgrade during the dist-upgrade step, adding Depends for the extra tools needed in that case seems sensible to me. What about adding an extra package like 'cyrus-upgrade' that depends on the tools needed to perform a database upgrade? This could be installed by the admin to ensure that there are always the right tools available in case of a dist-upgrade.
