no, i reused the chroot from the "first attempt" reproducer A clean recipe, not requiring any 'login' is: mkdir -p /tmp/bullseye cd /tmp/bullseye debootstrap bullseye . https://deb.debian.org/debian ln -s /tmp/bullseye /var/lib/machines/bullseye systemd-nspawn --machine bullseye apt install emacs elpa-helpful # at this stage we have: # $ ls /tmp/bullseye/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ # dash-2.17.0 dash-functional-1.2.0 elisp-refs-1.3 f-0.20.0 helpful-0.18 loop-1.3 s-1.12.0 sed -i /bullseye/bookworm/ tmp/bullseye/apt/sources.list # systemd-nspawn --machine bullseye apt update systemd-nspawn --machine bullseye apt upgrade # this all works, including upgrading emacs :) # but, old directories for elpa-dash and elpa-helpful and elpa-elisp-refs have not been removed: # $ ls /tmp/bullseye/usr/share/em$ ls /tmp/bullseye/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa{,-src} /tmp/bullseye/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa: dash-2.17.0 dash-functional-1.2.0 elisp-refs-1.4 helpful-0.18 loop-1.3 dash-2.19.1 elisp-refs-1.3 f-0.20.0 helpful-0.19 s-1.12.0 /tmp/bullseye/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src: dash-2.19.1 dash-functional-1.2.0 elisp-refs-1.4 f-0.20.0 helpful-0.19 loop-1.3 s-1.12.0 # nb: on the host /tmp/bullseye and the symlink /var/lib/machine/bullseye should be removed once finished! >
