Hi michaa7,

according to http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/harfbuzz.html (http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/harfbuzz.html) the transition now seems to be complete for the i386 architecture. But the users of libreoffice on the AMD64 architecture still have to wait a bit ...

Now, it wants to install a new libharfbuzz module, but it still wants to remove LibreOffice. So I'm still going to wait.

I am using the genric mirror  http://http.debian.net (http://http.debian.net) , which flawlessly works here since two or three years.
Could you/someone test if that circumvents the problem (of a mirror being updated haltingly)?
Title: Re: [solved] don't d-u until further notice
Post by: johnlittle001 on 2013/12/07, 15:01:21
I thought that I would give your suggestion a try.  I edited my sources list to substituted http.debian.net for ftp.us.debian, then did an update and the then attempted an upgrade but the results were the same (it wanted to remove Libreoffice).

I've switched back to the earlier mirror and I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Hm, but it should solve the problem:

  The redirector uses the geo and network location of the user and the mirrors, the architecture of the requested files, IP address family, the availability and freshness of the mirrors ...

Advantages over a good old, specific mirror
No offline mirrors
No out of date mirrors


So mayby it's worth to investigate further on http://http.debian.net/ (http://http.debian.net/) website. There is a demonstration which gives you some hints. And if it still does not work, maybe it would be an opportunity to get in contact with the author.
But maybe it is a limitation by design:

The population may be bigger than the number of mirrors listed above, meaning there were other candidates but they were not considered because of their distance to you

http://mirror.debian.org/status.html - if you have problems with your mirror, have a look at the status. The mirrors sync all 6 hours, if not broken. Waiting for a few hours may fix bad behaviours of apt eventually.

Beside of that - if we provide fixes - libreoffice in that special case - the mirrors are not broken, but some of them sync only one time a day, so it can take up to two days in the worst case until our fixes reach our mirrors :)

Edit: One can check the state of our mirrors with http://mirrorstats.siduction.org/

The LO and harfbuzz problems appear to be resolved, but cups and other printing packages (foomatic-filters, hplip, hpijs-ppds) are still in a mess.
Title: Re: [solved] don't d-u until further notice
Post by: michaa7 on 2013/12/07, 18:44:11
using http://mirror.debian.org/status.html (http://mirror.debian.org/status.html) shows that mirror.cc.columbia.edu (NY),  debian.lcs.mit.edu (MASS) or debian.gtisc.gatech.edu (GA) seem the first us mirrors to be updated (They are now whereas other us mirros ( like ftp.us.debian.org ) are still behind!).
Maybe it's worth to keep one of them as primary or secondary source?


@ dibl
foomatic-filters are replaced, and as to hpijs-ppds, I let it go.

It seems this is still an ongoing transition. Read: "apt-cache show cups-filters". cups-ghostscript is replaced, too, but sure it is better to wait until cups transition is completed as not all packages seem updated to their new dependencies.

dibl, I meant that my printer is working without the foomatic-filters, which were removed this morning. It is apparently working with the cups-filters package, as melmarkers said, above. I did not even have to change the printer configuration.

Stupid me, I did let it run *before* really d-u-ing, so packages were d/l-ed but not installed.
OTOH, it didn't show anything related to cups-filter (what I would expect with the new packages not installed and which was the cause for all the discussion ). I wonder if it is necessary to put a package explicitly on the watch list? And how to do that (there is no "man duptup")?


Any hints?

So apart from printer stuff like foomatic-filters (obviously ok), ghostscript-cups, hpijs-ppds two other packages were removed: libfm-gtk-bin and libnepomukcleaner4. What about those two?
Title: Re: [solved] don't d-u until further notice
Post by: devil on 2013/12/26, 16:24:13
libfm-gtk-bin can be installed after libfm-tools are manualy installed. libnepomukcleaner4 still wants to remove half the system, but the package is optional anyways.
