Package: systemd Severity: serious Justification: 2 Dear Maintainer,
After doing 'atp-get update' and 'sync-available' against: deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib 'apt-get upgrade' shows no upgrades: root> apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. nor does 'apt-show-versions -u', but 'apt-get dist-upgrade' tries to install systemd and dependencies: root> apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: libaudit0 libcryptsetup4 libsystemd-daemon0 libsystemd-id128-0 libsystemd-journal0 libsystemd-login0 systemd 0 upgraded, 7 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/1,715 kB of archives. After this operation, 4,480 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n Abort. This seems incorrect behavior. Please note that if I remove: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib from the sources list this behavior goes away: root@lims:/linux/debian/pkglists# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. This machine (and *many* others we have) is Debian Stable (7.6 - see below), and it seems incorrect to me that a dist-upgrade should be trying install new packages when there is no apparent dependency for them. The only packages that seem like they might remotely be causing this are udev & libudev0, but they are at the current stable versions (and libudev1 is not installed): root> apt-show-versions -a udev udev 175-7.2 install ok installed udev 175-7.2 stable ftp.debian.org udev 208-8 testing ftp.debian.org udev/stable uptodate 175-7.2 root> apt-show-versions -a libudev0 libudev0 175-7.2 install ok installed libudev0 175-7.2 stable ftp.debian.org No testing version libudev0/stable uptodate 175-7.2 root> apt-show-versions -a libudev1 Not installed No stable version libudev1 208-8 testing ftp.debian.org libudev1 not installed I am very concerned about this because it seems apparent that accidentally installing systemd will render my machine(s) unbootable; see https://bugs.debian.org/757588 (and I have no desire to install or use systemd regardless).
