Bug#756464: upgrade-reports: [kfreebsd] dist-upgrade to jessie removes the kernel



Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

When dist-upgrading a system to jessie, or running dist-upgrade on a freshly
installed system (using the alpha 1 release of the installer), apt-get
removes the kernel. This results in there being no kernel installed, and
you can't exactly boot the system without a kernel, hence the severity.

Using aptitude reveals that freebsd-net-tools Breaks: kfreebsd-image-9

To reproduce:
Install Debian GNU/kFreeBSD jessie from tha alpha 1 netinstall cd.
Run apt-get dist-upgrade
Reboot

and you will be stuck with a grub prompt.

In case it matters, this bug was found running under a virtual machine (KVM).

-- System Information:
Debian Release: jessie/sid
  APT prefers testing-updates
  APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing')
Architecture: kfreebsd-amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: kFreeBSD 9.2-1-amd64
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
