Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* We generally backport the latest version to the latest LTS since years.
The last one had a mistake.
We usually use versions like
2:10.3.10-1~ubuntu0.18.04.2
Which is fine, the last round of updates for 11.0 used a different pattern
thou:
2:11.0.5-4ubuntu0.18.04.1
That is fine between (older)->Bionic->Eoan
But will fail Bionic/Eoan -> Focal and (doesn't but might) cause dependency
issues.
We are backporting 11.1 right now anyway - doing this with the right version
for Focal will:
- keep Groovy -> focal intact
- repair bionic/eoan -> focal
[Test Case]
* run dpkg --compare-versions and check if it goes forward:
dpkg --compare-versions 2:11.0.5-4 gt-nl 2:11.0.5-4ubuntu0.18.04.1
this was bad, it will then be
B->F:
dpkg --compare-versions 2:11.1.0-2~ubuntu20.04.1 gt-nl
2:11.0.5-4ubuntu0.18.04.1
F->G:
dpkg --compare-versions 2:11.1.0-2 gt-nl 2:11.1.0-2~ubuntu20.04.1
[Regression Potential]
* This just ensures the proper upgrade paths work. I see no likely
regressions, if anything then
a system that was not yet upgrading due to the issue now doing so might run
into problems that
it formerly would also have had, but now due to the upgrade triggers them.
But no regression
due to the change itself.
