Still don't understand, in which I am right? Don't get me wrong, I
love being right :-) , but it was a yes/no question, not an opinion or
assertion.
I want to know the exact commands were issued and which worked and
which don't, because if "purge && install" actually don't get to
complain but "upgrade" never works, it's a very nice clue to try to
see what's done different in the code paths of upgrades vs fresh
("fresh") installs. If all actions fail, either they use the same
code path for that part of selecting packages/versions to upgrade, or
both code paths are wrong.
(Yes, I know that I could try to reproduce the situation locally; but
still I only have one system available to test this, still entangled
with gcc-5 and KDE transitions; and I can only juggle so many things
at once -- I am already trying to address several problems/bugs in
aptitude simultaneously. So if the problem is not reproduced
accurately now, and cannot attend the bug until it's too late --maybe
the situation is solved by changes in package deps--, valuable
information is lost).
Cheers.
