I have done apt+dpkg first upgrade tests in piuparts for jessie, (mainly to see if the new apt solves some failing upgrade paths better). But I haven't looked into doing such for stretch, yet. And so far it didn't look like its needed. Looking at you log, it already fails to install apt+dpkg from stretch. This involves upgrading all the C++ libs due to the v5 transition. And with gnome installed, these are probably a lot ... Andreas
