Package: sysvinit-utils, util-linux
Version: sysvinit-utils/2.88dsf-59.2, util-linux/2.26.2-4
Severity: grave

Hi,

I have a system running sid which I haven't upgraded for a few weeks. I
was greeted with this just now (apt-get upgrade fails as well, but I
used install to make the output smaller).

# apt-get install -Vy util-linux
Reading package lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
   initscripts (2.88dsf-59.2)

After this operation, 62.5 kB of additional disk space will be used.
E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential 
package util-linux:i386 due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, 
but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.

 sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.2_i386.deb
 initscripts_2.88dsf-59.2_i386.deb

From util-linux:
 Breaks: sysvinit-utils (<< 2.88dsf-59.1~)
From sysvinit-utils:
 Breaks: util-linux (<< 2.26.2-3)

So from the versions I have I don't see anyway to upgrade either of
these packages without deconfiguring the other first - and apt/dpkg
refuses to do that to an essential package.

For good measure I also tried upgrading a jessie chroot to sid and got
the same error.

Thanks,
James

Closes: 786469
Changes:
 util-linux (2.26.2-5) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * NMU upload with Andreas' consent / by his request.
   * Using sysvinit-utils (<< 2.88dsf-59.1~) confuses apt during upgrade, so
     use Depends: instead. This isn't technically true, but ensures a robust
     upgrade also from jessie. (Closes: #786469)
