>> IMHO, not having a strict equality bound on this kind of relationship is a straight bug. > The equality bound was removed after bug 2077232 So I was considering using something like https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome- shell/-/commit/11caf605bf06a536e to set upper bounds too. But then I definitely think that indeed also from the gnome-shell side it's completely wrong not to have a strict dependency on binary versions: - gnome-shell package contains libraries and typelib files that exposes internal APIs - gnome-shell-common package includes JS code (in the resource files) that may consume those APIs Not to mention that the common package exposes also the `.gir` files that are the "sources" of those typelibs, and again having a version mismatch there isn't correct. So... If #2077232 happens again we need to figure out what's causing it, but it's definitely not a shell problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2098654 Title: gnome-shell 48 breaks on partial upgrades Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Due to gnome-shell not having a strict version equality on gnome- shell-common, `apt` can easily upgrade the latter while holding back the former, e.g. due to transition. In 48~beta-1ubuntu1, the authd patches were disabled, so gnome-shell- common 48 had no knowledge of the authd gsettings keys that gnome- shell 47 (held back by APT), resulting in GDM not showing the password dialog.
