Bug#752186: apt: Conflicting dist-upgrade solution
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.5
Severity: normal
Hi!
I am seeing some conflicting result from "apt-get dist-upgrade" lately:
=====
# LC_ALL=C apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libcryptsetup4 systemd
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libcryptsetup4 libsystemd-daemon0 systemd
The following packages have been kept back:
policykit-1 udisks2
The following packages will be upgraded:
acpi-fakekey acpi-support acpi-support-base dictionaries-common fuse
gdbserver libfuse2 sisu vim vim-common vim-runtime
11 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Need to get 9589 kB of archives.
After this operation, 5693 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
=====
See that it says that systemd is no longer needed (and suggests to use
apt-get autoremove) and at the same time it says that systemd will be
installed.
Note that I don't have systemd installed:
=====
$ LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy systemd
systemd:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 204-10
Version table:
208-1 0
100 http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental/main amd64 Packages
204-10 0
500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
=====
If it isn't installed it shouldn't say that it's no longer required.
I also can't see a dependency here that needs systemd installed.
Another strange thing:
=====
# apt-get clean
# LC_ALL=C apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

After this operation, 377 kB of additional disk space will be used.

=====
Note that I did a clean, dist-upgrade, Ctrl+C and another dist-upgrade
run. It didn't say anything about systemd this time.
It's fully reproducible this strange result with systemd.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Nelson
