I tried this manually in pbuilder/buster to understand what problem britney encountered. I didn't see this in my piuparts tests. # britney reported problems for libmariadbclient-dev # and tried to migrate both src:mariadb-10.3 and src:mysql-defaults apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev default-mysql-client-dev sources.list += sid, apt-get update apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev default-mysql-client-dev # selects 1:10.3.12-1 where available # boom - libmariadbclient-dev is no longer installable, so the migration # would require immediate removal of mariadb-10.1 to succeed which would # have more implications # let's add -2 with the new transitional package sources.list += /tmp/mariadb, apt-get update apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev default-mysql-client-dev # selects -2 # worked fine While on a normal upgrade path libmariadbclient-dev might just get removed, britney actually cares that the installability of the packages in testing does not regress.
