Bug#882099: libnih1: Dependency from libc6<2.25 breaks dist-upgrade
Package: libnih1
Version: 1.0.3-8
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Apt dist-upgrade wants to delete the following packages:
cgmanager kde-plasma-desktop kdeconnect libcgmanager0 libnih-dbus1 libnih1 libpam-systemd libvirt-daemon-system plasma-desktop plasma-widgets-addons plasma-workspace policykit-1 polkit-kde-1
polkit-kde-agent-1 systemd-shim sysvinit-core udisks2
Seems the culprit is in libnih1 package:
root@hpsiddie:/home/manul# apt-get dist-upgrade -d libnih1+
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libnih1 is already the newest version (1.0.3-8).
Calculating upgrade... Error!
