Bug#602797: upgrade-reports: problems with aptitude, apt-listchanges, php-net-smtp (php-pear), casper (obsolete), junior-games-gl and xserver-xorg-video-ati
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important
upgrading lenny to squeeze on Nov 8, 2010
Almost all packages are from lenny, except some of them that come from
debian-backports, debian-multimedia and obsoleted packages. Running
kernel is 2.6.32-bpo.5-686-bigmem
I will only mention errors that have caused apt-get to stop with errors
and prevent the upgrade process to continue.
I have removed all entries from /etc/apt/sources.list except squeeze
(main, contrib, non-free).
aptitude safe-upgrade enters the "Calculating dependencies" stage and
remains there indefinitely. Unable to use it.
I try to update to the last version of aptitude:
aptitude install aptitude
When trying to uninstall apt-listchanges gives the following error:
Desinstalando apt-listchanges ...
mv: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre
«/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges»: No existe el fichero o el
directorio
dpkg: error al procesar apt-listchanges (--remove):
el subproceso post-removal script devolvió el código de salida de error
1
Bug #602742 has been filed due to this error.
The new version of aptitude is much faster than the old one, but the
problem that makes it unusable remains. So I fall back to apt-get.
I run apt-get upgrade and I get the following error:
Desempaquetando el reemplazo de php-net-smtp ...
dpkg: error al procesar
/var/cache/apt/archives/php-net-smtp_1.4.2-1_all.deb (--unpack):
intentando sobreescribir `/usr/share/php/doc', que está también en el
paquete php-pear
I have filled a bug report against php-pear for this reason.
After manually removing the package php-net-smtp using dpkg the resto
of the upgrade runs without errors. Then I run apt-get dist-upgrade.
Then, while configuring tasksel I get an update-initramfs error
related to package casper:
Configurando tasksel (2.84) ...
Procesando disparadores para menu ...
Procesando disparadores para python-support ...
Procesando disparadores para initramfs-tools ...

dpkg: el subproceso post-installation script devolvió el código de
salida de error 1
Package casper is an obsolete package comming from the debian-live
project. I have removed it manually and then restarted the upgrade.
I run apt-get dist-upgrade: 933 packages upgraded, 626 new installs,
51 to remove and 1 not updated (gnome-dbg).
evolution refuses to upgrade because it is already running.

I kill manually evolution processes and run apt-get again. There are
a lot of unmet dependencies and apt-get refuses to continue. Running
apt-get with the -f option says:
763 upgraded, 562 newly installed, 40 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
212 not fully installed or removed.
It tries to download iceweasel, but ...

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try
with --fix-missing?
The reason is that I'm using approx as a debian repository proxy,
but at this point approx is misconfigured in the middle of the upgrade.
After running dpkg --configure -a followed by apt -f install the
package approx gets correctly configured and apt-get can
download iceweasel, so te upgrade continues:
165 actualizados, 154 se instalarán, 30 para eliminar y 588 no
actualizados.
162 no instalados del todo o eliminados.

Package junior-games-gl should pre-depend on blends-common, but
it doesn't. This problem has been already reported as bug #57062.
I have added a note to the bug.
After resolving manually the dependencies (dpkg --configure -a
and apt-get -f install do the trick) the upgrade finishes ok.
The only one post-upgrade issue I have find so far is that some
xserver-xorg-video-* had been removed, and the X server refused to
start. Installing xserver-xorg-video-ati solved the problem.
I wish this upgrade report will be usefull to somebody.
Best regards,
Gonzalo.
