during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from 'squeeze'. It installed fine in 'squeeze', then the upgrade to 'wheezy' fails. [snip] Ouch! apt shouldn't remove the package that is to be tested (and can be installed in clean wheezy without problems).
Exactly, *APT* should not do that... why is this reported against dolfin? I tried to reproduce this bug with aptitude instead of apt, and it seems that aptitude is a bit smarter than apt as it doesn't remove dolfin-dev but offers to upgrade it to the newer version. IMO, this bug should be reassigned to APT. It also happens with mingw-ocaml (see #662746). I'm CC'ing APT maintainers to have their input on this kind of issues. Followed steps to reproduce: #0. cowbuilder-squeeze --login #1. apt-get install --no-install-recommends dolfin-dev #2. sed -i s/stable/wheezy/ /etc/apt/sources.list #3. apt-get update #4. note that `apt-get dis-upgrade` fails #5. and that `aptitude full-upgrade` works Regards, -- Mehdi Dogguy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
