Package: samba Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: pitsior...@gmail.com Dear Maintainer,
Python was updated to 3.9 in unstable a few days ago. However, if I allow apt to d-u, it will completely remove samba as seen here The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libarchive13 libavahi-client3 libcups2 libjansson4 libldb2 libpython3.8 libpython3.8-minimal libpython3.8-stdlib libpython3.9 libtalloc2 libtdb1 libtevent0 libwbclient0 python3-dnspython python3-talloc python3-tdb python3.8 python3.8-minimal samba-common tdb-tools Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: libsmbclient python3-ldb python3-samba samba samba-common-bin samba-libs smbclient The following NEW packages will be installed: libpython3.9 libpython3.9-minimal libpython3.9-stdlib python3.9 python3.9-minimal The following packages will be upgraded: libpython3-stdlib libtalloc2 libtdb1 python3 python3-minimal python3-talloc python3-tdb 7 upgraded, 5 newly installed, 7 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 6,922 kB of archives. After this operation, 45.7 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. What is really odd is that both samba and python were updated to their new versions the same day, samba on 4.13.x and python on 3.9, but I guess samba 4.13 was built with python 3.8 as a dependency. p.s. The above are NOT from my MAIN system, which runs debian testing amd64, but from a secondary one running unstable i386. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages samba depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii dpkg 1.20.5 ii init-system-helpers 1.58 ii libbsd0 0.10.0-1 ii libc6 2.31-4 ii libgnutls30 3.6.15-4 ii libldb2 2:2.1.4-2 ii libpam-modules 1.3.1-5 ii libpam-runtime 1.3.1-5 ii libpopt0 1.18-2 ii libpython3.8 3.8.6-1 ii libtalloc2 2.3.1-2 ii libtasn1-6 4.16.0-2 ii libtdb1 1.4.3-1 ii libtevent0 0.10.2-1 ii libwbclient0 2:4.12.5+dfsg-3 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 ii procps 2:3.3.16-5 ii python3 3.8.6-1 pn python3-dnspython <none> pn python3-samba <none> ii samba-common 2:4.12.5+dfsg-3 pn samba-common-bin <none> ii samba-libs 2:4.12.5+dfsg-3 pn tdb-tools <none> Versions of packages samba recommends: pn attr <none> ii logrotate 3.17.0-2 pn python3-markdown <none> pn samba-dsdb-modules <none> pn samba-vfs-modules <none> Versions of packages samba suggests: pn bind9 <none> pn bind9utils <none> pn ctdb <none> pn ldb-tools <none> pn ntp | chrony <none> pn smbldap-tools <none> pn ufw <none> pn winbind <none>
