Can't upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 with apt-get
Added by Vincent MEMBRÉ over 11 years ago.
Updated about 9 years ago.
Description
After changing from repository 2.3 to repository 2.4, running apt-get upgrade tries to upgrade rudder-cfengine-community and rudder-policy-templates
and don't upgrade rudder-server-root and rudder-webapp
- rudder-cfengine-community and rudder-policy-templates should not be upgraded and be replaced by rudder-agent and rudder-techniques
- rudder-server-root and rudder-webapp should be upgraded
The following packages have been kept back:
rudder-server-root rudder-webapp
The following packages will be upgraded:
rudder-cfengine-community rudder-inventory-endpoint rudder-inventory-ldap rudder-jetty rudder-policy-templates rudder-reports
6 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
it should works like aptitude upgrade, which works perfectly fine:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
rudder-agent{a} rudder-techniques{a} uuid-runtime{a}
The following packages will be REMOVED:
rudder-cfengine-community{u} rudder-policy-templates{u}
The following packages will be upgraded:
rudder-inventory-endpoint rudder-inventory-ldap rudder-jetty rudder-reports rudder-server-root rudder-webapp
6 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
- Category set to 11
- Assignee set to Nicolas PERRON
- Priority changed from N/A to 2

when using apt-get dist-upgrade it looks better,
- rudder-cfengine-community is replaced by rudder-agent
- rudder-server-root is upgraded
- rudder-webapp is still not upgraded
- and rudder-policy-templates is still not replace by rudder-techniques
The following packages will be REMOVED:
rudder-cfengine-community
The following NEW packages will be installed:
rudder-agent uuid-runtime
The following packages have been kept back:
rudder-webapp
The following packages will be upgraded:
rudder-inventory-endpoint rudder-inventory-ldap rudder-jetty rudder-policy-templates rudder-reports rudder-server-root

As it is described by apt-get dist-upgrade message, rudder-policy-templates has not been replaced by rudder-techniques, neither rudder-cfengine-community by rudder-agent but the both of these packages are installed at the same time. besides rudder-webapp seems to be updated but apt-get still considers this package as not updated:

It may have a instruction missing in debian/control to declare rudder-cfengine-community and rudder-policy-templates to be removed
It seems that for apt-get, renaming packages needs the use of dummy transitional packages, like described here: http://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package
I have added two folder in order to build dummy packages for debian: rudder-cfengine-community and rudder-policy-templates.
- % Done changed from 0 to 80
- % Done changed from 80 to 100
The use of dummy packages for rudder-cfengine-community and rudder-policy-templates seems to works for the use of apt-get. We can consider this issue as finished.
- Status changed from In progress to Pending technical review
Dummy packages ! impressive, we are beginning to master Debian packages :D On the road to have official Rudder packages in the Debian tree next ? Technical review OK.
- Status changed from Pending technical review to Released
This looks fine, except for some weirdness introduced in the README and copyright files for rudder-policy-templates (I checked the diff from the 2.3 branch). Fixed in a commit just now.
- Project changed from Rudder to 34
