Attention/ Achtung, an 64-bit time_t transition is in progress in unstable

[hendrikL]

Please be patient, many packages are getting removed and replaced by <package><foo>t64 or similar!
So be careful before hitting the key!
Read careful what apt wants to do.

Seit vorsichtig, viele Programme werden gegen neue Versionen ausgetauscht, da eine 64_bit time_t transition im Gange ist.

Also seit Vorsichtig und lest was apt/nala/dpkg da machen möchte!

For me and Xfce4 there have been a lot of complaints about dependency problems but they work as they should. Just the package name has been modified so you get a warning. Other than that business as usual for me.

[hendrikL]

Not only the names got modified, they are recompiled with some new options regarding that time_t thingie.

Yes, sorry, I just meant the dependent packages still have what they need but with the name change triggers the dependency error issue. As the maintainers catch up this will be resolved.

Wo kann man denn den Fortschritt der 64-bit time_t transition ansehen? im Transition-tracker ist davon nix zu sehen.

Wow, lange Liste, das könnte ne kleine Weile dauern.

Really, a long list, that needs some time, I guess.

[eriefisher]

Wow! a tonne of package removals this morning. Many of them are being replaced with the *t64 variants but it's triggering many more that are not. One being Xorg. I'll wait.

[hendrikL]

Yeah, it's time to clean the system! *

I've been using Debian-unstable for about 25 years now. But this is the most intense transition I've experienced so far.

So we need just to wait for a dist-upgrade 

[edlin]

I'm still waiting for the first user who hasn't read or understood the warnings and has ruined their system.
The weekend is still long ...
