Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.76
Severity: important
Hi!
I believe this is related to the info I sent to #645382 and #625847, on this
situation, where there are some packages not upgradable for whatever reason
there may be, the upgradable packages are not being upgraded.
Please note that this is a report from a machine running version 0.76 of
unattended-upgrades on squeeze,I don't think that is making any difference
here, but just in case.
I had this couple of machines running stable with some packages from
unstable or manually installed that are not upgradable (see previous report
to the bugreports I named before for more info) and we had a couple of
stable upgrades lately that I just realised now that are not being applied.
I believe the problem here is that we have the problem with the other
packages which "cannot" be upgraded and unattended-upgrades doesn't
disociate the case of the upgradable packages from the one of unupgradable
packages, in fact it also tells the upgradable packages are not upgradable.
I have just tested now on one of the servers to remove the sid repository
from apt, this way unattended-upgrades won't say anything about the packages
he cannot upgrade and rerun unattended-upgrades, that way the upgrades from
stable got upgraded without any problem.
So, we have a couple of problems here, and loos to me as if this second one
is consequence of the first one and thus fixing the first one will also fix
this one. I'm saying this because on the 23th raptor lib got upgraded and we
were already on that state on which some packages were not upgradable.
Here goes the log for libraptor1:
