Hi list, For close to two weeks now, I think, I've been seeing my near daily
apt update apt upgrade routine on a daedalus machine holding back the upgrade of libelogind0. That looks like this root@basecamp:~# apt-mark showhold root@basecamp:~# apt update Get:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security InRelease [21.5 kB] Get:2 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates InRelease [26.5 kB] Get:3 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus InRelease [31.8 kB] Fetched 79.8 kB in 0s (235 kB/s) Reading package lists...

Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back: libelogind0 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. So I figured I'd take a look at what a full-upgrade would do instead root@basecamp:~# apt full-upgrade --assume-no Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: libelogind0 Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.

Need to get 653 kB of archives. After this operation, 1008 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] N Abort. Hmm, installing libsystemd0? No thanks, because root@basecamp:~# apt-cache madison libelogind0 libsystemd0 libelogind0 | 246.10-4 | http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus/main amd64 Packages libsystemd0 | 250.4-1 | http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus/main amd64 Packages indicates that libsystemd0 is straight from the Debian systemd Maintainers. Next, I thought I'd take a look at installing that particular version of libelogind0 root@basecamp:~# apt install libelogind0=246.10-4 --assume-no Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [...] Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

Need to get 4133 kB of archives. After this operation, 273 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] N Abort. Huh? How come libelogind0 is so hell-bent on installing libsystemd0? Looking at the libelogind0 dependencies, I see root@basecamp:~# apt show libelogind0 2>/dev/null | grep Depends: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.33), libcap2 (>= 1:2.10) and checking those, I get root@basecamp:~# apt list --installed 2>/dev/null | egrep '(libc6|libcap2)' libc6/testing,now 2.33-7 amd64 [installed,automatic] libcap2-bin/testing,now 1:2.44-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libcap2/testing,now 1:2.44-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] which satisfies the requirements. Ah! Looking at the currently installed libelogind0=246.10-3, I see it Provides: libsystemd0 whereas libelogind0=246.10-4 no longer does. Any reason that was dropped? # I'm aware of some changes having been made to get packages with a # Build-Depends: on libsystemd0 to build from source again. Guess I'll just sit this one out, maybe even put libelogind0 on hold for a while, until things are sorted out.
