Bug#836995: texlive-base: fails to upgrade wheezy -> jessie -> stretch

thanks

Hi Andreas,

> Severity: serious

Not sure if this is really serious. Updates are only supported from
one version to the next. I cannot take care about non-existing
packages in one version when upgrading to the next. Users are 
supposed to remove all outdated packages before updating to a new
release.

Anyway, added necessary breaks/replaces.

Norbert

Bug#836995: texlive-base: fails to upgrade wheezy -> jessie -> stretch

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: texlive-base
Version: 2016.20160819-2
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + tex4ht

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'wheezy' to 'jessie' to 'stretch'.
It installed fine in 'wheezy', and upgraded to 'jessie' successfully,
but then the upgrade to 'stretch' failed.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

Please add appropriate Breaks+Replaces against texlive-common/wheezy
which may have survived some wheezy->jessie upgrades.


cheers,

Andreas
