I've been having issues upgrading a standard Devuan Jessie install to Ascii. During upgrade, the task-xfce4-desktop package gets uninstalled and can't be installed afterwards due to dependency problems.
Jessie has tasksel=3.33+devuan1.0 and Ascii has tasksel=3.33+devuan0.3 which is preventing task-xfce4-desktop from being installed in Ascii. This is also causing a number of xfce4-* and other packages to be marked as not required and removable with apt-get autoremove. # apt-cache policy tasksel tasksel: Installed: 3.33+devuan1.0 Candidate: 3.33+devuan1.0 Version table: *** 3.33+devuan1.0 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.33+devuan0.3 500 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages # apt-cache policy task-xfce-desktop task-xfce-desktop: Installed: (none) Candidate: 3.33+devuan0.3 Version table: 3.33+devuan0.3 500 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages # apt-get install task-xfce-desktop Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: task-xfce-desktop : Depends: tasksel (= 3.33+devuan0.3) but 3.33+devuan1.0 is to be installed Depends: xfce4 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: xfce4-mixer but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. -- Tom
