Hi all,

Witold Baryluk, could you please attach your
/var/lib/dpkg/status file - or mail them to me in private
if you don't want to expose your installed packages to the world?

Also, it would be good if you could make a backup of the
/var/lib/apt/lists directory. Unlikely that we will need it but
just in case (otherwise your next "update" procedure will
maybe let the problem vanish - good for you, bad for the bug
(or also good for him, but bad for the bug squasher ;) )

These files are useful for us as we can hopefully reproduce
your problem with them more easily.

Further more, we tell APT to be a bit more verbose -
you can run as normal user (not as root) the following line
(yes it is one line):
apt-get dist-upgrade -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 -o
Debug::pkgDepCache::Marker=1 -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=1 -s
&> 584293-racoon.log


As i read some misunderstanding in the bug log:
* That "apt-cache show" prints multiple entries is not an
indication for two or more different sources.
In this case it is the installed and the candidate version which
is displayed. The show command per default prints out all
available versions for the given packages.
(see man 8 apt-cache - option --all-versions )
* The version printed in the REMOVED section is the
candidate version not the installed version -- but for
most packages which are removed the candidate is
the installed version so it is easy to confuse…
(That is correct as apt tried to install the candidate as it
is requested for all candidates by dist-upgrade but not
possible because of ??? and as racoon seems to
hold back only the upgrade of other packages (ipsec-tools)
it needs to go…)
(* Just as a note: mixing ubuntu and debian sources is not
(often) a good idea. Also, as you might know,
chromium-browser has recently entered debian sid.)


Best regards,

David Kalnischkies
