Since you're using aptitude you might be very interested in the
'forbid-version' command. To the situation above, after seeing the
apt-listbugs warning you just cancel the upgrade and
aptitude forbid-version ifupdown
(hope I got it right, I use aptitude only in interactive mode)
aptitude now will *not* upgrade to this version, but *will* upgrade to
the next one (which hopefully has the bug fixed). It's fire-and-forget
;)
Kind regards,
Andrei
