Package: apt Version: 0.9.7.9+deb7u6 Severity: normal This issue was found when upgrading a host from Wheezy to Jessie using the following recipe on 2014-11-07 just after the freeze started:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --purge dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get --purge autoremove $(deborphan --guess-all) When running 'apt-get dist-upgrade' newer DPKG versions should get unpacked and configured much earlier, preferably right after all of its Pre-Depends and Depends have been updated. This would be desirable to ensure that packages which utilize recent 'dpkg-maintscript-helper' features do not fail at manipulating configuration files. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers testing APT policy: (1001, 'testing'), (1001, 'oldstable'), (101, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.1~deb7u1 ii gnupg 1.4.12-7+deb7u6 ii libapt-pkg4.12 0.9.7.9+deb7u6 ii libc6 2.19-12 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-19 ii libstdc++6 4.9.1-19 apt recommends no packages.
