Package: aptitude-robot Version: 1.5.1-1 Severity: normal If I flag the new (e.g. uninstablable) version of an upgradable package as "forbid-version" (e.g. with Shift-F inside the aptitude TUI) and then run aptitude-robot-session, these flags are reproducibly no more set.
They should be kept like e.g. hold flags are kept and honoured. Workaround: Use /etc/apt/preferences or /etc/apt/preferences.d/ for this, e.g. like this: # cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/dont-upgrade-to-version-without-plugin Explanation: 1.6.2-3.1+deb9u1 only removes the browser plugins which we still need for old IMMs Package: icedtea-netx* Pin: version 1.6.2-3.1+deb9u1 Pin-Priority: -1 # -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.9 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages aptitude-robot depends on: ii aptitude 0.8.7-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.002005-1 ii librun-parts-perl 0.09-2 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 ii psmisc 22.21-2.1+b2 Versions of packages aptitude-robot recommends: ii perl-doc 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 Versions of packages aptitude-robot suggests: ii apt-listbugs 0.1.22 ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20160123cvs-4 ii needrestart 2.11-3+deb9u1 pn needrestart-session <none> ii xymon-client [hobbit-client] 4.3.28-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/aptitude-robot changed: RUN_DAILY=yes MAX_RANDOM_DELAY_SECONDS=900 RUN_ON_BOOT=yes LOG_SESSION=/var/log/aptitude-robot-session.log LOGFILE=/var/log/aptitude-robot.log MAX_LOGFILES_SIZE_BLOCKS=1000000 SESSION_REPORT_COMMAND=/usr/share/aptitude-robot/xymon-report SUPPRESS_CRON_MAILS=no POST_SESSION_HOOK= -- no debconf information
