Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I have 3 PC's with nearly identical hardware running Debian Testing.
Up to now the sources.list was pointing to "lenny".
After the migration of lenny to stable i altered this to "testing".
First everything looks O.K.

Then many packages where set on hold and then i had the problem that is described
in this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=521271
Please refer to it.

On 2 PC's i manually reinstalled the holded packages with "apt-get install ..."
Then i did an "apt-get upgrade" again.
Everything looks fine afterwards, there where no packages on hold or to upgrade.
Also an "apt-get check" shows no result.

But there is on every PC this strange problem with bug 521271, and i don't rely
that everything is O.K.
I can work normally with the Debian, before and afterwards i reinstalled the holded
packages.
But obviously something is broken and i don't know which packages and applications
else are working not properly?

How can i check this?
Maybe i have done a mistake going from lenny to testing?


Here is the output from the "apt-get upgrade" with the packages on hold:

Well, many packages were set on 'hold' automatically as 'apt-get upgrade'
installs only upgrades which do not need to remove installed packages or
install new previously uninstalled packages, so that is normal.

In newer versions there is 'apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs' to allow
the installation of new packages while still not removing packages.

Upgrade is either used to install upgrades inbetween release or as
a first step while moving between releases – which should be done
according to the release notes which detail the exact steps.


> Maybe i have done a mistake going from lenny to testing?

upgrade is just not enough to go to testing, you need dist-upgrade, too.


The bug #521271 this came from was closed, but I actually suspect it to
be a bug in the packaging back then as "partial upgrades" should be
supported – just that apt can't make them work if it doesn't know how to
and its the job of the packaging to declare the right dependencies to
make it work.

So, given that this is now a 6 years old bug without further comment and
likely not even a bug of apt, but of a (by now) very old version of
a specific package I am gonna close this bug for apt.

If this can still be reproduced feel free to reopen the bug, of course!


Best regards
