Aye, this helped! But, is there _any_ case when crossgrader might possibly work? As it needs python-apt-common, it will always fail. That makes the package useless. Should we bump #968458 to a RC severity? It's an obvious one-liner fix, and, with python-apt having an autopkgtest, the upload wouldn't even require asking for a freeze exception. > I'm not quite sure why this is stopping crossgrader > on Bullseye but not on Buster; I'll look into it. It hasn't been a part of Buster, and there's no backport for it in the archive either (the latter is a bit we can fix). It appears to me that hardly anyone had the opportunity to test crossgrader...
