One problem I run into every once in a while is how circulars dependencies make upgrades fail to recover when a disk is full or something else fail during installation or unpack. I end up in a situation where 'apt-get install -f' is not able to clean up the mess, and I have to clean it up manually. I would love to get the package upgrades more reliable. > Therefore I think _for this moment_ mandating in the policy will be > too strict. I definitely believe it is time to require no loops in policy. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
