Andrian, please, don't try to make assomption about what I'm doing or not doing. It's annoying and counterproductive : it won't make things fixed faster. In this particular case : I closed this report (#637337) but keep other one, on the same issue but in unstable, open (#638008). So, I have to disagree with you : I don't try to hide problem or searching excuse :/ There is two importants things here : 1/ I don't have time to support / give help to people using *stable* with *experimental* or *unstable* packages. It's nice if it's work but it's not my priority. It's why we have backports after all : provide a repository of tested packages from testing to stable users. > Upgrading between Debian stable releases upgrades all software by > 2 years, and there are in practice many cases where you cannot do > the upgrade in one run. > > And with providing testing and backports Debian is pushing users into > many more situations where they have a mixture of stable and unstable > installed. [...] 2/ yes, of course, we support upgrading from stable to stable-next and during this upgrade you'll have a mixed installation. And of course, this issue #638008 is clearly serious for next release and 'll be fixed... Seriously, I don't understand what you are trying to demonstrate here.
