I've tried to investigate xfce4-session upgrade failure. I've reproduced
it in a lenny chroot, but I can't explain apt-get behavior:
Investigating (0) xfce4-settings [ amd64 ] < none -> 4.6.5-2 > ( xfce )
Broken xfce4-settings:amd64 Conflicts on xfce4-mcs-plugins [ amd64 ] <
4.4.2-4 > ( x11 )
Considering xfce4-mcs-plugins:amd64 0 as a solution to
xfce4-settings:amd64 0
Holding Back xfce4-settings:amd64 rather than change
xfce4-mcs-plugins:amd64

Considering xfce4-settings:amd64 0 as a solution to xfce4-session:amd64 0
Holding Back xfce4-session:amd64 rather than change xfce4-settings:amd64
Try to Re-Instate (1) xfce4-session:amd64
Done
xfce4-session (4.6.2-2) depends on xfce4-settings which in turns
Conflicts: xfce4-mcs-plugins. For some reason, apt-get doesn't want to
remove xfce4-mcs-plugins and prefers to keep xfce4-settings uninstalled,
and thus xfce4-session at the previous version.
Anyone knows why and how to fix that? Would a “breaks” instead of a
“conflicts” fix it?
Cheers,
