Subject: iceweasel: wheezy force upgraded to 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1 Package: iceweasel Version: 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? used dselect for routine security patches * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? dselect, Update, Select, Enter (accept selections), Install * What was the outcome of this action? Iceweasel 31.2.0esr2~deb7u1 from debian unstable installed * What outcome did you expect instead? Iceweasel 24.8.1esr1~deb7u1 from debian stable installed This is a major breach of protocol for debian security patches. You DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT release major new upstream versions in the middle of a stable release cycle. You certainly do not release new versions which are significantly incompatible with the old version. I filed this bug against iceweasel as I see no indication of this misbehavior for any other package upgraded by dselect. If this should turn out to be a dselect error, please accept my apologies and advise so that I may refile. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.58-lvs (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 4.3.2 ii fontconfig 2.9.0-7.1 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.13-1+deb7u1 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii procps 1:3.3.3-3 ii xulrunner-24.0 24.8.1esr-1~deb7u1 iceweasel recommends no packages.
