First of all, apt-listbugs is not supposed to update file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs Quoting the apt-listbugs(1) man page: [...] | /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs | Configuration file fragment for APT containing options related | to apt-listbugs: this is the recommended place where the (root) | user may tweak the behavior of apt-listbugs, but usually no cus‐ | tomization is required. [...] The file which is supposed to be automatically managed by apt-listbugs is /etc/apt/preferences.d/apt-listbugs Quoting the apt-listbugs(1) man page: [...] | /etc/apt/preferences.d/apt-listbugs | Version preferences file fragment for APT managed by apt-list‐ | bugs: this is where the package pins are added by the apt-list‐ | bugs program and removed by its daily cron job. This file is | managed automatically and there's normally no need to modify it | by hand. [...] Secondly, it's not clear to me exactly what you did, when prompted by apt-listbugs. Could you please send (to the bug e-mail address) a transcript of your interaction with apt-listbugs during one of the package upgrades? I mean something that starts as: Retrieving bug reports... Done Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done serious bugs of rng-tools (2-unofficial-mt.14-1 → 5-1) <Outstanding> b1 - #915689 - prevent from migrating to testing Summary: rng-tools(1 bug) Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...] but then goes and shows what you replied to the question and what further output you obtained. Please let me know, otherwise I cannot understand what went wrong (if anything). -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
