Bug#170522: dist-upgrade fetches new dependencies of held packages
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
Hi,
valhalla:root/# apt-get -u dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libacl1 libattr1
The following packages have been kept back
samba samba-common smbclient smbfs swat
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/16.4kB of archives. After unpacking 77.8kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
samba is held; the current version does not depend on libacl1 or libattr1,
only the new one does. apt shouldn't install these two packages because the
new version of samba that depends on them isn't going to be installed.
Best regards,
Andrew
