Bug#955804: upgrade-reports: Packages on testing are broken due to dependencies to libevent
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Many packages, including chromium, thunderbird, firefox-esr, are not able to
upgrade due to dependent on libevent-2.1-6 while Debian testing has upgraded
libevent to libevent-2.1-7.
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Debian testing has upgraded to libevent-2.1-7 but packages of chromium,
thunderbird, firefox-esr are still depending on libevent-2.1-6
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Just apt update; apt upgrade
In my /etc/source.list I have testing repository and buster/update/main.
Newest version of the above packages were from buster/update/main.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Unable to upgrade.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The above packages should be rebuilt depending on libevent-2.1-7
