Subject: Difference between "woody" and "stable" in apt Default-Release?
Message-ID: <[🔎] 20030327220339.D24645@gin.ibr.ch>

Hi,
I've just seen a somewhat irritating behaviour of apt-get
update/upgrade. Formerly I thought "woody" and "stable" are synonyms
for now because Woody is the current stable distribution.
I've set Default-Release to "stable" in apt.conf:
APT {
Get {
Fix-Broken "true";
Show-Upgraded "true";
Purge "true";
};
Default-Release "stable";
};
If I add woody-proposed-updates to my sources.list and do an upgrade
with apt-get update/upgrade the packages from proposed-updates won't
get installed:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian woody-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
# apt-show-versions -a -p logcheck
logcheck 1.1.1-13.1 install ok installed
logcheck 1.1.1-13.1 stable
logcheck 1.1.1-13.5.woody.0 proposed-updates
logcheck/stable uptodate 1.1.1-13.1
If I change Default-Release to "woody" proposed-updates get installed
as expected.
So if I want proposed-updates I have to set Default-Release to "woody"
instead of "stable". Not just understandable, but as far as good.
If I additionally want to mix stable and testing releases and use apt
pinning things will be somewhat more complicated and don't work as
expected anymore.
My preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=woody-proposed-updates,o=Debian,l=Debian
Pin-Priority: 999
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable,o=Debian,l=Debian
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-proposed-updates,o=Debian,l=Debian
Pin-Priority: 777
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing,o=Debian,l=Debian
Pin-Priority: 700
If I set Default-Release to "stable" pinning works as expected, packages
will be installed from Woody by default. But as already written packages
from proposed-updates will not be installed on upgrades.
If I change Default-Release to "woody" to get the proposed-updates apt
tries to upgrade all my packages to testing on an apt-get upgrade run.
I've tried some variations in the preferences file with "woody" and
"sarge" instead of "stable" and "testing" but nothing works.
What am I doing wrong?
I want my system mostly be pinned to stable with proposed-updates
installed. Additionally I want to use a few packages from testing.
Regards
Uwe

Hi,
Just trying to learn how to make bootable installation
cds. Boot cd's downloaded from the website work fine,
when i raw write partboot.img, partroot.img to a a 2
floppy disks and boot using floppies it works fine. if
i burn them to cd the system boots and looks like it
is asking for a second floppy which has the
partroot.img , if i use the floppy disk it works fine.
but why do i need to insert the second floppy, i
already have the partroot.img in the root directory .
some how the cd i burnt is not able to know that the
partroot.img image it is expecting is present in the
root directory.
it always stops at vfs: insert root floppy disk to
load ramdisk and present enter it's the same with
every linux cd i burnt right now i am trying to burn
parted restoration cd. i know i am doing something
wrong.
i do
mkisofs -r -l -o \disk.iso -b partboot.img -c
boot.catalog e:\partediso
thanks
Srinivas

Or make a suggests/recommends which break a package a requires? I
certainly haven't run into any problems with leaving off suggests and
recommends. Of course I can't think of a package I use where either of those
causes it to break utterly.

If you were to take my "strain" example you'd be right only in that each
package without default would be on equal footing in regards to being an
upgrade in that none of them would ever be considered an upgrade.

Which is why I had suggested a field to identify which paths of packages
were upgrades to one another and which weren't and then designate one path as
the default to be installed with the other as options. At no time would they
intermingle and it would scale from 1 to whatever.

It may resolve itself when sylpheed moves into testing, but it's still a
bug.
Installing a doc package shouldn't cause removal of a binary package,
even if the binary package an older version.

Please file a bug against the ldap-utils package asking that the NAME
section of its man page be corrected to describe ud-ldap rather than ud.
Just to confirm, do you really mean that 'man ud-ldap' gives you the man
page for "ud - The uptime daemon" rather than "ud - interactive LDAP
Directory Server query program"? If so, that would also be a bug in
man-db. What version of the man-db package is installed, and what does
'accessdb | grep ^ud' say?

So you're saying autos are a Bad Thing (tm)?=20
Hey, if you don't like autos, why do you participate in using them? If y=

curse, not curses), as a Quaker, I have connections with Mennonites and=20
Amish. I can certainly help you find a community where they use horses a=

If one is to take you at your word, then you take part in using autos eve=

would be much better off if the automobile had never been invented. Are =
you=20
really trying to make such a far reaching statement? Can you back it up?
I might add that I use a bicycle for a good deal of my transportation. I=

don't have trouble with cars getting in my way or running me down. If yo=
u=20
feel so strongly about cars being a bad thing, what do you do to reduce t=

use? Do you avoid driving and use other transportation?
Yes, people get killed and maimed in auto accidents. Yes, there are care=

drivers. But for your point to be valid, you would have to argue that we=

FWIW, it's advised to do
<update sources.list to testing>
apt-get update
apt-get install apt dpkg tar ( ... any others anyone?)
apt-get dist-upgrade
... rather than just a straight update; dist-upgrade.
In this case, what does /another/ apt-get dist-upgrade do?

There will (should) have been a more specific error before that. We need
to see it.

Not very.

Probably not much, but we can't tell yet. :)
