Package: fpc Version: 2.6.4+dfsg-4 Severity: serious Tags: patch User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package prevents binutils
from being upgraded automatically.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', but during the upgrade to 'jessie'
apt prefers to keep the obsolete fp-compiler-2.6.0 installed and
holds back the wheezy version of binutils.
fp-compiler-2.6.0 has Breaks: binutils-gold, but in jessie binutils-gold
is a virtual package provided by binutils. fp-compiler-2.6.4 no longer
"cares" about binutils-gold.
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
20 fp-units-rtl-2.6.0 [ amd64 ] < 2.6.0-9 > ( devel )
20 fp-units-rtl-2.6.4 [ amd64 ] < none -> 2.6.4+dfsg-4 > ( devel )

Considering binutils:amd64 4 as a solution to fp-compiler-2.6.0:amd64 15
Added binutils:amd64 to the remove list
Fixing fp-compiler-2.6.0:amd64 via keep of binutils:amd64
Try to Re-Instate (0) binutils:amd64
Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
[...]
The following packages have been kept back:
binutils
The following packages will be upgraded:
[...]
239 upgraded, 108 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Adding the Breaks to fp-units-rtl-2.6.4 is sufficient since it has
a higher score than fp-compiler-2.6.0 (20 vs. 15).
In all my piuparts upgrade tests with the changes from the attached
patch binutils was always upgraded.
cheers,
Andreas
