I can reproduce the upgrade failure in a schroot, this is indeed very similar to the util-linux vs. sysvinit upgrade problem that we had some weeks ago. Similar to what we did back then, I also see no other option than dropping the Breaks:. This will break carefully crafted downgrade scenarios, but if you do these you are already on your own anyway.. I verified that upgrading from jessie to unstable plus a local apt repo without the Breaks: works fine, so I committed this: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/sysvinit.git/commit/?id=f1acba82 I'll 0-day NMU this now, as it got introduced by my previous NMU and fixes an RC bug. Thanks and sorry for the trouble, Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
