I have tried this as workaround and it helper.

Thanks I don't think you did actually anything wrong, since what you did ought to work. To work around that, you could do either: - run "apt update" rather than aptitude after you changed sources.list, or - _add_ an entry for the new release in sources.list rather than replacing the current one (you may remove the old entry later). If you want to actually do that now, you need to point back your sources.list to stretch temporarily and run "aptitude update && aptitude forget-new" before proceeding with one of the above suggestions.

Hello, I am trying to look which packages are new in buster that were not in stretch.

Maybe stretch decided to turn it on by default? (Stretch documents a "--no-show-upgraded" option with no short equivalent. Also, the -u option is accepted without complaint. Backward compatibility?) Also, the -u in "apt-get -h" was from jessie... my bad, for reading the man page on stretch, but then using apt-get -h on jessie. I didn't expect there to be such a large difference between the two. So, testing... yes. It does appear that "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get -u upgrade" both do the same thing on stretch. I'll probably still type the -u anyway, out of habit, and because I have many older systems that need it.

Configuration Item: APT::Get::Show-Upgraded. Also, another option that could be more useful: -s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur based on the current system state but do not actually change the system. Locking will be disabled (Debug::NoLocking) so the system state could change while apt-get is running. Simulations can also be executed by non-root users which might not have read access to all apt configuration distorting the simulation. A notice expressing this warning is also shown by default for non-root users (APT::Get::Show-User-Simulation-Note). Configuration Item: APT::Get::Simulate. Have fun :)

I strongly recommend using the half-documented -u option here: apt-get -u upgrade It's not in the man page, but it IS in the "apt-get -h" output. That way you'll have some warning of which services are going to be affected. If, for example, you see that your database server is going to be upgraded, and you know that this will impact your users, you may want to wait until a less busy time to do the upgrade, and shut down your database-client application(s), etc. This is also one of the reasons why unattended upgrades are not on by default.

New packages isc-dhcp-client and common break network
I don't know where to look or what to do about this newly arrived problem. I have it on good authority that isc-dhcp-client and isc-dhcp-common have not created problems for others and indeed I've not seen any post related to these packages. It would appear they are part of the dhcp4 upgrade but twice now I've installed them and after I can't connect to the ISP. I've ruled out the firewall. I use a cable modem only, eth0 no router. These are the NEW packages sid wants to install: isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common libexiv2-9 libicu44 libmpfr4 libpodofo0.8.0 libwildmidi1 if I do only an apt-get -u upgrade I can avoid losing the network, but then dhcp3-client and dhcp3-common can't be upgraded without the new packages so they're held back after a while it's a mess with dependencies piling up. I would appreciate any suggestions as to files to edit or areas to check after this upgrade that could fix the problem. thanks, GTK+ 2.20.1 / GLib 2.24.1 Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (x86_64) -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

[snip] Hi, to prevent reinstall of a specific package you can create a /etc/apt/preferences file (or create one in /etc/apt/preferences.d/, both methods work) with the following content: Package: libk5crypto3 Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: -1 Be aware that holding back a package indefinitely may lead to dependency breakage at some point. If you are not already using an /etc/apt/apt.conf (or /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local) file, you can also benefit from creating one to keep a mixed system. The following content will set lenny as your default distribution: APT::Default-Release lenny; the command apt-cache policy [package] will print the actual priority policy for your system (or a specific [package]). There's a lot more refinement to the art of mixing Debian's levels, and I don't pretend to be a master in this art, man apt.conf and man apt_preferences are.

apt-pinning: how to avoid installing of all-new packages?
Dear list How do I prevent apt in a mixed stable/testing environment from installing packages that first time appear in testing using apt-pinning? Right now gcc-4.4-base would get installed on a mixed system by apt-get upgrade, since it does arrange well with all required libraries found in stable. It depends furthermore on libk5crypto3, which isn't in stable neither, libk5crypto3's dependencies are fullfilled aswell. Once installed you run into the bug #566988, which means apache, postgresql, ssh, ... do not run anymore. Until this bug has been fixed I want to prevent apt from installing packages from testing, that are not found in stable, except such, that I mention explicitly in /etc/apt/preferences.

Since all error messages mentioned that 'ldconfig' was missing, I checked my DELL laptop on Ubuntu 8.04, which was released about the same date as Debian Lenny. On that Ubuntu system, I found two executable files that are absent from my Debian system : /usr/sbin/ldconfig and /sbin/ldconfig.real. Such files must have been on my system at one time, since the man file is still there ; the executable may have been erased by God only knows what evil process.

Since all error messages mentioned that 'ldconfig' was missing, I checked my DELL laptop on Ubuntu 8.04, which was released about the same date as Debian Lenny. On that Ubuntu system, I found two executable files that are absent from my Debian system : /usr/sbin/ldconfig and /sbin/ldconfig.real. Such files must have been on my system at one time, since the man file is still there ; the executable may have been erased by God only knows what evil process. So, I recuperated those two files from my Ubuntu system and copied them into the same directories with the same rights on my Debian machine. Then I typed : How do you know those files from Ubuntu system works on Debian. I do not think you even checked version. There is no binary compatibility gurantee even though it works sometims. FYI: I only have /sbin/ldconfig and no /sbin/ldconfig.real on my lenny. Your action may have work as emergency tactics but this kind of action requires full reinstall after backing up your data on the system. It looks to me you have broken system sometime ago by yourself. Reinstall is the easiest way to get same state for such case.

won't forget later, I am pasting an output below :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1234902 aoû 31 19:02 libc6-i686_2.9-26_i386.deb
The file dates are interresting. I have several libc6 packages. The ones
dated aug 31 (libc6_2.9-26_i386.deb and libc6-i686_2.9-26_i386.deb) must
be the ones that tried to get install in the process of installing
'audacity 1.3.8 testing'. The install process clearly stated that it was
going to update my libc6. The only package dated aug 26 must be the one
that got installed in the process of setting up my new Lenny at that
date ; there was no associated dev package. I don't know what are
packages dated aug17, since it was a few days before I installed Lenny ;
at the time I was still running Sarge and, since I did not upgrade but
reformated and installed from scratch, I should have no remains from old
Sarge in my system. What is puzzling me is that the package dated aug 16
is of a newer version than the one dated aug 26. An other thing that
come to my attention is that all of these deb package files are 'rw',
except the first one that appears on the list, dated aug26, the date of
my Lenny install.
This being said, I will be trying to re-install libc6. Coming back soon.

I wouldn't dare to test this without more knowledge ; I wouldn't know what options and arguments to add. The problem is that ldconfig (and probably other important stuff) is missing on your system; dpkg wants to call ldconfig before it installs the libc6 package, therefore it is jammed. The next thing you can try is to split the installation into two steps: dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18_i386.deb dpkg --configure libc6 That might work if --unpack does not require dpkg to run ldconfig; I do not know the internals of dpkg well enough to judge the chances of success. If the above does not work then you may have to resort to manually extracting the files contained in libc6_2.7-18_i386.deb: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch02.en.html#_extracting_package_without_dpkg Alternatively you could try to fool dpkg by copying /bin/true to /sbin and then rename the copy to ldconfig. Again I would not dare to predict the chances of success of this rather dirty trick. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

problem installing new packages
Hi to Everyone ! I surely made a mistake trying to install 'audacity v1.3.8 beta'. Someone told me that this new beta version was really different from earlier releases, so I wanted to test it. Since 'apt-get install audacity' told me that my already installed 1.3.5 beta version was the last version available, I decided to try 'testing' directories in my /etc/apt/sources.list. This and the apt-get update being done, I renewed my attempt with apt-get install. This time, it did start to install v1.3.8 of audacity. But I encountered a problem ! Before the end of install process, I got this message : Configuring libc6 Running services and programs that are using NSS need to be restarted, otherwise they might not be able to do lookup or authentication any more. The installation process is able to restart some services (such as ssh or telnetd), but other programs cannot be restarted automatically. One such program that needs manual stopping and restart after the glibc update by yourself is xdm - because automatic restart might disconnect your active X11 sessions. This script detected the following installed services which must be stopped before the upgrade : gdm If you want to interrupt the upgrade now and continue later, please answer no to the question below. Do you want to upgrade glibc now ? I replied 'no', and, so far, I have not attempted to continue this install process of 'audacity' and the upgrade of glibc. My /etc/apt/sources.list have been restaured to what it was before, that is : deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main and I did an 'apt-get update' too. Ever since then, I am encountering problems and error messages when trying to install something. For instance, if I do : #apt-get install gphoto2 the install process starts... then : Can't exec locale: no file or directory of this type at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 16.

NB : the variable PATH of the superuser should contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin et /sbin. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) I got something similar when trying to install flashplugin. Should I go finish the upgrade of libc6 which I interrupted before the end as explained above ? On the contrary, would I be better cancelling the previous unfinished job (but how to cancel it ?) and go back to libc5 ?

This is from man aptitude: upgrade Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version. Installed packages will not be removed unless they are unused...; packages which are not currently installed will not be installed... dist-upgrade Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version, removing or installing packages as necessary... In other words, upgrade will hold back any package whose new version has new dependencies or requires the removal of any package. Dist-upgrade will install any new dependencies and remove any newly conflicting packages (it automatically decides which packages must go when there is a conflict, or you can control this by marking packages in various ways). So I'm afraid what you're asking is not possible: the packages you have installed must have their new dependencies if they are to be upgraded. And a major change like the one from stable to testing will usually bring in a lot of new dependencies. It does seem odd that gnome is to be installed; do you mean the whole of gnome, desktop environment and all? It must be that something you have installed now needs at least parts of gnome. To examine the situation in more detail, try running aptitude with --show-deps. I use Kpackage (a front-end for apt-get, so don't mix it with aptitude for actually installing packages) because it's easy to browse package descriptions and dependencies, and manually select multiple packages for installation and removal. I run testing and keep up-to-date by running update; upgrade; if any packages are kept back I mark them for upgrade and carefully check what will be changed, and only proceed if none of that bothers me (e.g., no packages I want to use are to be removed). Good luck, John Like John I use Kpackage, but when i have looked at aptitude it is originally setup to automatically install *recomended* packages by default. You can switch this off in the UI, so i imageine it can be configured via the CLI as well. Try the 'man' page or fire up the UI and C-T-Options-Dependency Handling-Automatically install recommends.

And a major change like the one from stable to testing will usually bring in a lot of new dependencies. There may not be a one command way to do this, but it can be done. The simplest way is a 2 step process: 1) do your normal upgrade. Don't worry about packages that are held back. 2) after the upgrade, run aptitude in interactive mode. The packages that were previously held back will be in the upgradable packages section. Open that section, and for each package you want to upgrade, hit + Each time you hit plus, other packages may be marked for install, removal, or upgrade, depending on dependency needs (and aptitudes options: see below). If you want to review what aptitude is proposing, hit g after each package you mark, and review to make sure you're OK with aptitude's plan. If not, use : to cancel the pending operation on a package by package basis. Also, you'll want to look at the Options - Dependency handling options, as Wackojacko suggests. In addition to the option of installing recommended packages by default, you also have the option to: Automatically resolve dependencies of a package when it is selected Automatically fix broken packages before installing or removing Remove unused packages automatically The last option also has a filter you can set to negate the global effect of this option.

The following packages have been kept back: adduser [3.63 - 3.87] apache2 [2.0.54-5 - 2.0.55-4] apache2-common [2.0.54-5 - 2.0.55-4] apache2-mpm-prefork [2.0.54-5 - 2.0.55-4] apache2-utils [2.0.54-5 - 2.0.55-4] apt [0.5.28.6 - 0.6.43.3] apt-utils [0.5.28.6 - 0.6.43.3] aptitude [0.2.15.9-2 - 0.4.1-1] ... 241 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 109 not upgraded. Need to get 123MB of archives. After unpacking 7145kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] n Obviously, I want kept back packages to be upgraded too (BTW, is there a way to find out why, specifically, those packages are kept back?). So, I tried aptitude dist-upgrade and it wants to install 695 new packages, including the ones I do not currently have or want (e.g evolution, gnome (I use KDE), exim, etc). # aptitude update; aptitude dist-upgrade --show-versions --simulate --verbose; 336 packages upgraded, 695 newly installed, 36 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 654MB of archives. After unpacking 1242MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] n Am I missing something?

[...] Am I missing something? How do I upgrade only the packages that I currently have, without installing an obscene amount of new and unneeded/unwanted packages? This is from man aptitude: upgrade Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version. Installed packages will not be removed unless they are unused...; packages which are not currently installed will not be installed... dist-upgrade Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version, removing or installing packages as necessary... In other words, upgrade will hold back any package whose new version has new dependencies or requires the removal of any package. Dist-upgrade will install any new dependencies and remove any newly conflicting packages (it automatically decides which packages must go when there is a conflict, or you can control this by marking packages in various ways). So I'm afraid what you're asking is not possible: the packages you have installed must have their new dependencies if they are to be upgraded. And a major change like the one from stable to testing will usually bring in a lot of new dependencies. It does seem odd that gnome is to be installed; do you mean the whole of gnome, desktop environment and all? It must be that something you have installed now needs at least parts of gnome. To examine the situation in more detail, try running aptitude with --show-deps. I use Kpackage (a front-end for apt-get, so don't mix it with aptitude for actually installing packages) because it's easy to browse package descriptions and dependencies, and manually select multiple packages for installation and removal. I run testing and keep up-to-date by running update; upgrade; if any packages are kept back I mark them for upgrade and carefully check what will be changed, and only proceed if none of that bothers me (e.g., no packages I want to use are to be removed).

If you are using stable, be sure you have security URL's in your sources.list. It is possible that you don't have heimdal, ekg, or libgadu3 on your system and if that is the case, you would not have seen updates. If you are a Kopete user, you probably do have libgadu3 libraries on your system and those should be upgraded.

List new packages after an apt-get update
After doing an apt-get update there are two types of packages I'm particularly interested in: newly available packages (new to Debain since the last time I did an apt-get update) and packages I have already installed but that have been updated since the last time I did an apt-get update. (I.e., ignore packages that have been updated but not since the previous time I did an apt-get update) Are there any simple command line methods for getting these two lists (or do I need to persist in learning what seems to me to be the quite un-intuitive interfaces in deity and aptitude). Many thanks in advance, Graham

Many thanks in advance, Graham G'day Graham, apt-get -u upgrade will show installed packages that have newer version then the one on your system. just answer no to the continue prompt if you want don't want to upgrade them all automaticaly. If you want to find all new packages you could backup, ( I think this is correct) you /var/lib/apt/lists directory before the each update, then compare the backup directory to the newly downloaded list, or write a script that does the lot. There might be an easier way to do this ?? Cheers Joel -- Anagrams reveal the mysteries. Windows Two Thousand Professional = Stoned Sonata: Worship Windows foul.

This would be esp. useful for intended large downloads such as
kernel-source-*; even kernel-doc-* is more than one meg to download each
time.
$ apt-get install --download-only package
...You can then browse the package file itself through tools like mc,
gmc, or nautilus, or unpack it (it's a shar shell archive) to a

...I'm not aware that package files are available independently of the

One could try adding this changelog script to ~/.bashrc:
changelog() {
[ $# = 1 ] lynx http://master.debian.org/cgi-bin/get-changelog\?package=$1
}
However, it doesn't seem to work anymore... Maybe the change to package
pools eliminated to changelogs?
