Bug#611088: apt-dater-host silently ignores ABI-incompatible

2011-01-29 Thread Stefan Bühler 

Hi,

shouldn't the do_upgrade method use dist-upgrade too then?

I guess it would be at least nice to have the option to run dist-upgrade 
instead of (safe-)upgrade in the frontend.

I already thought about that, but I think (with assumeyes) that it may
break systems, especially if someone is using testing.

dist-upgrade should not be used without some additional tweaks (it might 
not be safe under all circumstances). I'm still tweaking it for 
apt-dater 0.8.5 - using dist-upgrade for do_status was the simplest way 
to prevent 0.8.4 from hiding ABI upgrades.

Thomas

Bug#611088: apt-dater-host silently ignores ABI-incompatible updates

2011-01-25 Thread Thomas Liske 
Package: apt-dater-host
Version: 0.8.4-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch


Hi,

this bug is related to SF Bug#3158198 reported by Mathieu PARENT:

apt-dater-host does silently ignore any ABI-incompatible updates (like bind9). 
Users of apt-dater might think that their hosts are up to date while they are 
missing important security fixes (i.e. recent bind9 updates).

There is a simple patch to solve this issue:
