Package: apt
Version: 0.5.14
Severity: normal
I am attempting to upgrade from the unstable version of postgresql
(7.3.4-9) to the version in the experimental archive (7.4-1). No matter
what I tried, including removing EVERY source from my sources.list
except for the experimental source, apt will not upgrade.
I think this apt-cache policy output nicely sums up the problem:
postgresql:
Installed: 7.3.4-9
Candidate: 7.3.4-9
Version Table:
7.4-1 0
1 http://ftp.us.debian.org ../project/experimental/main Packages
*** 7.3.4-9 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
All I can think to say is, WTF?
I have had this happen before, and have finally managed to get the
package installed by manually removing it and reinstalling. However,
this is not right, and could cause one to miss important updates IF
the problem is as bad as it looks to me. I have not done enough
testing to know more than that the postgresql package won't upgrade.
Thanks,
b.g.
