However, this is checked per architecture, and it seems the check wasn't done because the binary changed from arch: any to arch: all at the same time. This case should probably be checked in dak as well (obviously also for arch: all to arch: any). Cloning the bug to track the issue in dak. Cheers, Ivo
Bug#983018: qdbus: Needs package downgrade from Buster to Bullseye (missing epoch in transitional package)
Package: qdbus Severity: serious Justification: §3.2 and https://wiki.debian.org/SystemDowngrade Hi, on one system I wondered why qdbus is still on Qt4. Then I noticed that the version of the Qt4 qdbus package from Buster is higher (!) than the version of the Qt5 qdbus package in Bullseye: $ apt-cache policy qdbus qdbus: Installed: 4:4.8.7+dfsg-18+deb10u1 Candidate: 4:4.8.7+dfsg-18+deb10u1 Version table: *** 4:4.8.7+dfsg-20 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.15.2-3 990 900 https://debian.ethz.ch/debian bullseye/main i386 Packages >From what I can see, the proper fix is to prepend at least an epoch of "4" to (only) the transitional package, i.e. to make the version of qdbus in Bullseye "4:5.15.2-…" instead of just "5.15.2-…". Even the BTS gets it partially wrong probably because of this and still thinks the current qdbus package is built from the qt4-x11 source package: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=qdbus;dist=unstable (Note that it displays the correct version number, but the wrong source package.) -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
