Control: severity -1 serious Control: retitle -1 fuse3: provide upgrade path fuse -> fuse3 for bullseye
The fuse/fuse3 situation turns out to be an issue for buster -> bullseye
upgrades. Take a minimal buster chroot with ntfs-3g and sshfs installed:
$ apt-get -y install ntfs-3g sshfs
$ sed 's/buster/bullseye/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -y dist-upgrade
After the upgrade, sshfs is still at the version from buster:
$ apt-cache policy sshfs
sshfs:
Installed: 2.10+repack-2
Candidate: 3.7.1+repack-1
Version table:
3.7.1+repack-1 500
500 http://localhost:3142/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
*** 2.10+repack-2 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Explicitely upgrading sshfs with apt-get install will cause fuse3 to be
installed and fuse to be removed. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the
reproducer.
With my release team hat on, I'm raising this issue to serious. We want
to provide working upgrade paths. One possible solution to the problem
would be for src:fuse3 to take over the fuse binary package as
transitional package depending on bin:fuse3. As far as I understand the
situation, all reverse dependencies of fuse should also work with fuse3.
Cheers
