At the end of the email, you seem to imply that the "broken, misconfigured" part is that I'm mixing stable and testing/unstable. My understanding is that this has always been supported / allowed (and more generally, mixing/upgrading from release N and/to release N+1, of which testing is an "alpha / beta version"), albeit not very well tested. What is not supported is mixing/upgrading oldstable with/to testing/unstable, nor release N and/to release N+2. > Neither does it say anything about filing it against sids version > when history also is affected. (since 1:3.0.1-3) One reports bugs with the information one has. I determined that the sid version was affected, and had no information on whether older versions were, and which ones. >> Version: 1:3.2.1-10 > So this is wrong, and you bogusly blocked a important bugfix from > entering testing. No, this is not wrong. It states that this bug is present in version 1:3.2.1-10, and it is. It does not state anything about past versions, it does not say past versions don't have this bug, and it does not state that past versions have this bug. >> APT prefers testing >> APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'stable'), (300, >> 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') > ... and the above works unless someone has such a broken mix (what has > "stable" > to do here?!) which results in two different libdb-devs pointing to different > lidbX.Ys on his system... No, they are not "on the system", but available for installation. One could even have a non-Debian repository in /etc/apt/sources.list, that offers yet another libdb-dev, with a higher (or lower) pin and/or version number. Then one would also have two different libdb-dev available for installation. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
