One tip for such cases:
Use apt-listbugs.
In case someone reports an critical error and the report gets processed and
added to the Debian bugtracker *before* you upgrade, it will warn you and you
can have apt-listbugs pin the affected package(s).
Like this:
merkaba:/etc/apt/preferences.d> cat apt-listbugs
Explanation: Pinned by apt-listbugs at 2016-11-05 16:28:24 +0100
Explanation: #843250: qml-module-qtquick-controls is broken and breaks
software using it
Package: qml-module-qtquick-controls
Pin: version 5.6.1-3
Pin-Priority: 30000
Furthermore apt-listbugs will remove the pinning when the bug is closed.
It saved my system from a lot of breakages already :) – and warned me this
time as well :)
Thanks,
