Package: apt Version: 1.0.9.5 Severity: serious Hi,
Based on the latest reports from jenkins.debian.net, it seems that Jessie's version of APT cannot fully complete the dist-upgrade while Wheezy's version can. Compare [1] with [2]. The difference is that in [2] we upgrade dpkg and APT alone prior to upgrading, while in [1] we start the upgrade with the current version of APT (i.e. the one from Wheezy). In the "dpkg + APT first" run[2], APT ends up concluding that "login" should be removed and aborts as it refuses the uninstall an essential package. In the regular run[1], the "login" package is (eventually) upgraded without any issues. Please note that there are more upgrade issues for reference at [3]. The general story is that upgrading "APT + dpkg first" fails, while not doing so works. For the sole case where the "original" upgrade test also fails, it is caused by the removal of sudo. I am not entirely sure if this is caused by a broken solution from APT or just the jenkins setup that needs changing. Anyway, that would be [4]. ~Niels [1] https://jenkins.debian.net/view/chroot-installation/view/upgrade%20wheezy2jessie/job/chroot-installation_wheezy_install_xfce_upgrade_to_jessie/515/consoleFull [2] https://jenkins.debian.net/view/chroot-installation/view/Problems/job/chroot-installation_wheezy_install_xfce_upgrade_to_jessie_aptdpkg_first/5/consoleFull [3] https://jenkins.debian.net/view/chroot-installation/view/Problems/ [4] https://jenkins.debian.net/view/chroot-installation/view/Problems/job/chroot-installation_wheezy_install_gnome_upgrade_to_jessie/519/console -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
