Dependency problem

[orinoco]

Hello,

d-u doesn't work here:

Code: [Select]

apt-get -V -s dist-upgrade

Calculating upgrade... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Any ideas?

Yes, here is a little more:

We just need to wait -- normal sid stuff.

Seems to be in relation to perl updates v 5.20, set perl to hold avoid conflicts

[melmarker]

@ralfi: setting perl on hold makes no sense if there is a perl transition to 5.20 - with perl on hold you will break other possible upgrades. Just wait for two days or so with the d-u

Did a little testing on this before I go to work

Code: [Select]

apt-mark hold aspell aspell-en
Not good

Take the hold off, and use a new hold, it is better,  but,  if using multi-arch, it might be better to wait it out and putting perl on hold is not a great idea as said above

Nowadays (I don't know since when) apt-get dist-upgrade tells us what might be the reason behind a problem, especially when using unstable:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

;-)

I accidentially posted the above posting twice
(... and now I must say: What a piece of shit software which does not allow for deleting a posting)

[melmarker]

michaa7: thats not the software - we set this for a reason

New packages arrived at the German Debian mirror and the perl transition hiccup is over now ... at least on my machine. 
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/perl5.20.html

Greetings

[melmarker]

hurra, ein Wunder ist geschehen .. und dabei ist die Transition grad mal zu 11% durch.

Mit anderen Worten: Wir freuen uns mit Dir, der Rest von uns muss noch ca 1-2 Tage warten, bis alles durch ist

[orinoco]

Hello,

today d-u works fine. For me the perl transition seems to be ended.
