Bug#1031927: Handling the libsgutils2-2 #994758 bookworm-ignore

[Adrian Bunk]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

With the bookworm-ignore for #994758, bullseye and bookworm
will ship libsgutils2-2 packages with different so-name.

This means mixing bullseye/bookworm libsgutils2-2 and rdeps
would be brokwn in either direction.

My plan to resolve this is:
1. RC bug against libsgutils2-2 for Breaks against pre-bookworm
versions of rdeps
2. RC bug against libsgutils2-2 to drop the symbols file,
to ensure that rebuilt packages will depend on the bookworm version
3. Request binNMUs for rdeps to pick up stricter dependencies after 2.

Please confirm that this is the correct action
(this bug might then also be used for the binNMUs).

Control: tags 994758 - bookworm-ignore

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for caring.

I'll admit that I misjudged that bug; with this message I'll clear the
bookworm-ignore tag.

Although the transition freeze has started long time ago, it seems that
doing a proper transition is the best way to fix this issue. If somebody
is up to the task to prepare the upload, we can ask ftp-master to
process the upload swiftly. (Please upload to experimental to avoid the
ftp-master from rejecting the package immediately and to enable
reviewing if that's not done before the upload.)

Hi, 

I just tried to upgrade my Bookworm using software centre and get the following error: 

"Unable to download updates:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

libsgutils2-1.46-2: Breaks: libsgutils2-2 (=1.46-1) but 1.46-1 is to be installed"

I then in terminal did: "sudo apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs" which worked, and when I now do "sudo apt upgrade" I get: 

"The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

  dctrl-tools dh-dkms libmpdec3 libpcre3

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

The following packages have been kept back:

  libgpod-common"

The software centre still gives the first error described further above. 

My system info: 

Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid

64-bit

GNOME version: 43.3

Windowing system: wayland

I searched for a fix to this and found this bug - sorry if it's not related. 

Thanks!

The upgrade needs to install new packages and remove an old one. I
suspect you will need an `apt full-upgrade` instead.
