--- Begin Message ---Package: libc6 Version: 2.36-9+deb12u8 Severity: wishlist It is a known "effect" of upgrading buster to bookworm (skipping bullseye) that upgrade seriously breaks the system: ...

Since I have been observed this plenty of times I already know how to fix (just including for the people possibly google for this): cd /var/cache/apt/archives dpkg -i libcrypt1_1%3a4.4.33-2_amd64.deb libpam0g_1.5.2-6+deb12u1_amd64.deb libc6_2.36-9+deb12u8_amd64.deb (or the actual downloaded versions) Yes, I am aware that people are advised to gradually upgrade, and I'm sure you are also aware that they don't. It would be helpful and positive if package management could prevent this breaking (since it's probably very hard to fix for an inexperienced user, who easily can hit this block). (I hope that I have guessed right that this belongs to libc6, if not, I'd appreciate if you'd reassign it peoperly, and I thank you for your help.) I am not sure whether it's feasible, but it would be nice if you could check whether it is, and if it's doable then you'd include it in the pre-depends. If not, well, I already know what to look out for. Thank you very much!

No the problem is that perl-base from buster is missing the dependency on libcrypt1. perl-base from bullseye or bookworm have the depends, but apt has planned to upgrade them later. > Since I have been observed this plenty of times I already know how to > fix (just including for the people possibly google for this): > > cd /var/cache/apt/archives > dpkg -i libcrypt1_1%3a4.4.33-2_amd64.deb libpam0g_1.5.2-6+deb12u1_amd64.deb > libc6_2.36-9+deb12u8_amd64.deb > (or the actual downloaded versions) > > Yes, I am aware that people are advised to gradually upgrade, and I'm sure > you are > also aware that they don't. It would be helpful and positive if package > management They are not *advised* to gradually upgrade. Skipping one version is simply *not supported* as explained in the release notes: https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgrade-to-debian-oldrelease > could prevent this breaking (since it's probably very hard to fix for an > inexperienced user, who easily can hit this block). > > (I hope that I have guessed right that this belongs to libc6, if not, I'd > appreciate if > you'd reassign it peoperly, and I thank you for your help.) Yes this is correct. > I am not sure whether it's feasible, but it would be nice if you could check > whether > it is, and if it's doable then you'd include it in the pre-depends. A depends is not enough, a pre-depends is necessary. And it's what libc6 in Bullseye has. But we do not want to add that circular (pre-)dependency in Bookworm as it has many side effects, and will just bring back bugs #975052 or #975077. I am therefore closing the bug.
