Bug#994081: (no subject)



I have the same result, although in my case, the command I had run was
'apt-get dist-upgrade' and there were no packages kept back.

By "the same result", I mean that except for cosmetic things like the
timestamp, the reported download speed, and the width of the wget
download-progress bar, the output appears to be exactly identical.

Looking at the scripts involved, I don't see anything that looks
obviously different from what this seems to have been before; it's still
just invoking 'apt-get check', reacting to the exit status, and
returning success. That leads me to think that the difference must be
the result of a change in the behavior of 'apt-get check', which would
mean that the most likely cause is a change in apt itself.

Looking at the apt changelog (from the uploads to experimental over the
months of the release freeze), I see a few things which could maybe if
the circumstances are right be handwaved as being related; however, I
don't know the libdvd-pkg design well enough to be able to judge which
of them might actually be related, and I'm not currently inclined to
grab the apt source and start digging to see what 'apt-get check' is
actually doing now that might be different from the last time this was
known to be working.

I do want to note that after getting this error, I ran 'dpkg-reconfigure
libdvd-pkg' as suggested elsewhere, and saw it complete with no errors.
