Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.0.86
Severity: important
Hi and thanks for maintaining apt-listbugs!
I am experiencing a problem with its cron.daily script, though.
Some time ago, I pinned two packages in order to avoid installing
versions affected by a couple of bugs which I thought could have a
negative impact on my system.
/usr/share/doc/apt-listbugs/README.Debian.gz states:
| The pinning will be removed when the package no longer has any
| critical bugs, by cron.daily.
Hence, my understanding is that no manual intervention is required
in order to have those packages unpinned when the scary bugs are
fixed or no longer release-critical.
OK, my current /etc/apt/preferences is:
| Explanation: Pinned by apt-listbugs at Wed Jan 16 21:34:06 +0100 2008
| Explanation: #454965: ttf-opensymbol: uninstallable
| Explanation: #452718: ttf-opensymbol non-installable
| Package: fontconfig
| Pin: version 2.4.2-1.2
| Pin-Priority: 1000
|
| Explanation: Pinned by apt-listbugs at Sat Feb 16 19:24:37 +0100 2008
| Explanation: #465241: bibtex2html has been installed with an unmet
dependency
| Explanation: #466052: installation-reports: GRUB installation failed
| Package: apt
| Pin: version 0.7.9
| Pin-Priority: 1000
The system executes cron.daily scripts via anacron everyday, but nothing
seems to change in this file.
However:
* #454965 and #452718 were merged together and then downgraded from
severity `serious' to `important' (on Sun, 23 Mar 2008)
* fontconfig (version 2.5.0-2, currently in testing) no longer has any
release-critical bugs
* #466052 was fixed in apt version 0.7.11 (which migrated to testing on
Thu, 21 Feb 2008)
I expected to see my /etc/apt/preferences modified as follows:
| Explanation: Pinned by apt-listbugs at Sat Feb 16 19:24:37 +0100 2008
| Explanation: #465241: bibtex2html has been installed with an unmet
dependency
| Package: apt
| Pin: version 0.7.9
| Pin-Priority: 1000
Instead, I still see both packages pinned (and thus not upgraded!).
Indeed, if I manually run the following command, I get an output identical
to my current /etc/apt/preferences file:
# /usr/share/apt-listbugs/aptcleanup

I cannot understand what's going on.
I tried to perform a debug test on fontconfig, as suggested in
/usr/share/doc/apt-listbugs/README.Debian.gz .
I ran the following command-line:
# (echo 'VERSION 2'; echo '' ;
ls -1 /var/cache/apt/archives/fontconfig_*.deb |
sed 's/^/x x x x /') |
/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt -d \
2> /tmp/apt-listbugs.debug.stderr \
1> /tmp/apt-listbugs.debug.stdout
The two generated files are attached.
The final part of /tmp/apt-listbugs.debug.stdout seems to suggest
that apt-listbugs is willing to let the upgrade of fontconfig happen...
Nonetheless, my /etc/apt/preferences file still pins the package,
and aptitude refrains from upgrading it.
What's wrong?
What did I fail to understand?
Thanks for your attention.
