Package: apt
Version: 2.1.18
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: pitsiorisj@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
It must be the 4th or 5th time that I notice the following behavior, so I
report it today.
I do this to update my system
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
The update part finishes successfully as usual, the upgrade part says that
there are some packages that were held back, e.g.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
kodi-inputstream-adaptive kodi-inputstream-rtmp kodi-vfs-libarchive
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
But dist-upgrade that comes right after mentions no packages were held back
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Last time, firefox was the package in question and it could was not upgraded to
84.0.2, even with dist-upgrade, because it depended on a newer version of
libx11-6 that was only on unstable that time. Dist-upgrade could not pull that
dependency, so I had to "update" it with
apt-get install -t unstable firefox
I am on testing with select packages from unstable, e.g. firefox. That is why I
have the APT::Default-Release preference set to testing in apt.conf. I have
been using this setting for the last 8+ years and I notice the forementioned
behavior only lately.
