Package: exfatprogs
Version: 1.4.2-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
Dear Maintainer (and [email protected] for udisks2),
the latest push of exfatprogs to testing/forky (bug 1140899), added "Breaks:
udisks2 (<< 2.11.1-2)", which causes the package to either be held back or
break gnome (via uninstalling gnome-session and a few other packages).
gnome-disk-utility depends on udisks2; the version of udisks2 available in
testing is 2.11.1-1, and in sid 2.11.1-2.
Attempting to upgrade exfatprogs causes the removal of
> The following packages will be REMOVED:
> gnome gnome-core gnome-disk-utility gnome-session gnome-sushi gvfs
> gvfs-backends gvfs-daemons gvfs-fuse libblockdev3 nautilus nemo
> nemo-fileroller udisks2 xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
Even on a FrankenDebian (which mine kind of is) this can't really be worked
around, as the "strictly earlier" rule means not even exfatprogs/sid will be
accepted.
I see that in 1140899 there is a discussion about issues with udisks2, so I
don't really know if/when this can be fixed.
I believe this to be severity: important because it makes the upgrade of
exfatprogs pretty much impossible (causing gnome-session to be uninstalled) but
not higher, as apt holds it back (at least on my system).
Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
Thanks!
Claudio

-> Closing based on the fact that it was a user error and the issue at general
should resolve itself when udisks2 and libblockdev migrate.
