Bug#985833: General: when searching repos I get an error message
Package: General Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: 51lv3rb...@protonmail.com Dear Maintainer, After using the command apt search 'package_name' if the package can't be found I get the following error message, when the error happened and every other instance I have a good internet connection. I'm assuming that the 'unable to open database file' would mean there was no connection, am I right? Sorry, command-not-found has crashed!

Tips for debugging/testing debian/control Depends/Breaks etc changes?
Hello! I've noticed I've spent quite a lot of time debugging various situations where the debian/control definitions for depends/breaks/replaces/conflicts/provides are not optimal. The waste of time is two-fold: 1) apt is not verbose enough 2) the cycle to rebuild/tests is too slow As an example of 1, sometimes I see this: apt install mariadb-client The following packages have unmet dependencies: mariadb-client : Depends: mariadb-client-10.5 (>= 1:10.5.10) but it is not going to be installed apt install mariadb-client-10.5 Installing.. Done! When this happens I have no idea why apt did not resolve the dependency by itself automatically, as there was no real conflict in installing it. Do you have tips on how to debug the root cause of situations like these? For the problem 2, I hate to rebuild all of the packages (and binaries) just because there was a change in debian/control and go through the hassle of updating a test repo etc. I wonder if there is some other "lighter" way to just edit the debian/control and produce new binary packages with them updated without having to actually build new binary packages (and no, editing the .deb files manually and repackaging them with 'ar' is not an option that would make life easier). Thanks for any tips you have on the topic! - Otto

Please file a bugreport against freeipa, suggesting to split into two source packages, one for server and one for client. Maybe the maintainers will agree that it is a sensible move, but maybe they will disagree that other concerns (e.g. simplicity of maintenance) overweighs the risk of the package not stabilizing. It really isn't sensible to discuss this among all Debian developers: It's very much tied to the maintenance of that specific package.

Make it a separate source package, if it's possible to do a clean split. Make sure the server package neither build-depends nor depends on the client one. The only sane way to do this is at the upstream side though. -- WBR, wRAR signature.asc Description: PGP signature

If you are still asking about getting this package into bullseye then I'm afraid it's not possible. Otherwise, as already suggested, it's possible to have it in bullseye-backports after fixing problems keeping it outside testing. Thats not the point. The point is, how can we make sure that freeipa-client stays in Testing for Bookworm, even if there is a fatal problem with freeipa-server?

FWIW, my suggestion would be to attempt to work with the Debian FreeIPA team (there is a release critical bug open since September 2020, so it's unclear how active the team is currently) to get the package healthy, and after Bullseye releases, work to get it into testing, and then into Bullseye-backports.

The freeipa source package is not in testing since 2019-10-07, so "at risk for the next release" is an understatement. > For my own part, I run freeipa-server on CentOS 7.

freeipa is in trouble for the next release (again)
Hi folks, I understand that freeipa-server has a very serious problem (#970880), making it unfit for Bullseye. It is *highly* painful that it puts freeipa-client at risk for the next release, too. We had something similar for Buster about 2 years ago, AFAIR. For my own part, I run freeipa-server on CentOS 7. I am not affected by #970880. I would be very happy with freeipa-client in Bullseye, even if freeipa-server doesn't make it. Do you think it would be possible to cut a clear line between freeipa- client and -server?
