Dear Holger, and all readers at debian-mentors, a quick reply to a useful answer!

Yes, although I have used it on my own machine with a similar result. For the following quick comment I made a comparison between http://piuparts.debian.org/squeeze/pass/wefs_1.21+ds1-6.log and http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/webfs_1.21+ds1-6.log > Actually I think thats not a problem in your package, but something is wrong > with piuparts, specifically the piuparts-depends-dummy package: > > 0m15.6s DEBUG: Starting command: > ['chroot', '/org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmp1vGOUG', 'dpkg', '-i', > 'tmp/piuparts-depends-dummy.deb'] > 0m15.8s DUMP: > Selecting previously deselected package piuparts-depends-dummy. > (Reading database ... 6113 files and directories currently installed.) > Unpacking piuparts-depends-dummy (from tmp/piuparts-depends-dummy.deb) ... > dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of piuparts-depends-dummy: > piuparts-depends-dummy depends on libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.2); however: > Package libgcrypt11 is not installed. > piuparts-depends-dummy depends on libgnutls26 (>= 2.7.14-0); however: > Package libgnutls26 is not installed. > dpkg: error processing piuparts-depends-dummy (--install): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured > Errors were encountered while processing: > piuparts-depends-dummy At this point only the number of packages differs: 6112 against 6113.

The first major difference occurs with Sid at the report 0m21.6s DUMP: [...] The following NEW packages will be installed: adduser cron libpopt0 logrotate at this point Piuparts for Sid begins installing supplementary packages, and Piuparts for Squeeze commences to uninstall all managed packages. A remarkable fact that I mentioned only files related to those packages in my pruned file list above! Anyway, my scientific appetite has been wet, so I will continue the analysis later on. With a bit of luck something might turn up. My thanks for explaining this matter, Holger!
