Martin, this can be reproduced with the following steps: - setup a fresh hardy system - install the package postgresql-plperl-8.2 and it's dependencies - Upgrade to Intrepid with 'update-manager -d' and voilà.
The upgrade fails with the error : 2008-11-30 00:14:24,508 DEBUG The package 'postgresql-plperl-8.2' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist 2008-11-30 00:14:29,716 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'A essential package would have to be removed' This is not reproducible if postgresql-plperl-8.2 is not installed but postgresql-8.2 is. I don't understand why you say that this has got nothing to do with postgresql because this is the presence of postgresql-plperl-8.2 that makes the upgrade fail ? Maybe my fix was too straightforward but what would be the correct solution ? I've marked this report "Fix released" because the regex has been dropped in Jaunty, postgresql-8.2 is not available anymore and the issue is the upgrade of the system with plperl 8.2 installed. Thank you in advance for your advice. @Alexandr, this is not the same bug. Yours looks like bug 240724 . If you're not sure this is the same then file a new report with the file /var/log/dis-upgrade attached .
