This is not a problem with upstart; it's just an APT problem, it's noting the Essential tag of the installed version of sysvinit, and not noting it's been removed in the available version. ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- dapper -> edgy dist-upgrade holds back essential packages https://launchpad.net/bugs/63680 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Matt i don't understand the point of cherry-picking the packages to be hounest. They are all in main and installable on server or desktop or i could have an LTSP server or whatever.. i don't think that it does really matter if it's package foo or bar here.. we are supporting them and clean upgrade from release to release+1 has always been a goal. With this situation that has been created in edgy we are breaking this rule.

I have a text-frontend for the upgrader that could be used by server people. We just would need something like the update-manager for the server to actually fetches/executes the upgrader. A simple shell script will be enough (wget/tar is all needed). The dist-upgrader can easily fallback to the text-frontend if gtk fails.

[Bug 63680] Re: dapper -> edgy dist-upgrade holds back essential packages
Yes, the upgrades deal with both the python upgrades and the upstart upgrade. The problem with the essential package is that apt assign this property to the installed package, not the candidateVersion. This means that the resolver will not touch it unless a non-essential version is installed. The problem with the python packages is that python-foo depends on python2.4-foo in dapper, but the upgrade removes the dependency. So the resolver thinks that upgrading means removing a package for no good reason (because python-foo has no rdepends that would enforce a upgrade). The upgrade enforce the upgrade with a special case for installed python-foo packages. -- dapper -> edgy dist-upgrade holds back essential packages https://launchpad.net/bugs/63680 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is why we have the upgrader. Michael, can you confirm that the upgrader does the right thing? If so, this bug isn't a problem for the final release.
