Package: dpkg Version: 1.19.1 Severity: minor The latest dpkg upload has added a Breaks on apt (<< 1.7~b) for --status-fd duplicate removals, but the warnings that could be seen with earlier apt versions actually came from libapt-pkg, as I have also seen them in aptitude. Therefore dpkg should break libapt-pkg5.0 rather than apt, although this hardly matters in practice, since it affects only users who have kept libapt-pkg5.0 at 1.7.0~alpha3 or don't have apt installed at all.
The faulty check[1] has been added in apt 1.4~beta1, and the last ABI change of libapt-pkg was in apt 1.1~exp9, so earlier libapt-pkg* versions are not affected. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-rc5-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-9 ii libc6 2.27-6 ii liblzma5 5.2.2-1.3 ii libselinux1 2.8-1+b1 ii tar 1.30+dfsg-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 dpkg recommends no packages.
