[X2Go-Dev] repository: broken dependencies since today

[ITM Administrators]

Hello all,

since this is a packaging bug and not a bug in the code, I wasn't sure
if a bug report should be filled. Instead, I use this mailing list.

We are using

deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian stretch main

as source to get updates for x2go under Debian 9.0 "Stretch". Since
today, the dependencies are not correct in this repository:

The package nxagent was updated today to version
2:3.5.99.14-0+git20180302.2954+9.main.1 but this is incompatible with
the package x2goagent (as of version
2:3.5.0.33-0x2go1+git20180204.776+9.main.1):

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 x2goagent : Depends: nxagent (<
2:3.5.0.33-0x2go1+git20180204.776+9.main.1.1)
E: Broken packages

In order to rule out a temporary dependency issue during upload of new
packages, we waited for 6 hours. The problem still persists.

Kind regards

Dennis Grunert

You should have likely waited a bit longer.

If I remember correctly the new X2Go Server packages hit the repository a few
hours later.


You cannot reproduce that now, is that correct?

We have upgraded all computers manually after some hints from the IRC
channel. So there are no computers left in this non-updated state to test.

    Hello all! Over one week ago, I sent a message to the x2go-dev
mailing list about broken dependencies in the x2go repository
http://packages. So far, the message has not been moderated and the
broken dependencies are still there. Therefore, I will now try this
IRC channel.

    dgrunert: this is absolutely right correct - not broken
Ionic
    dgrunert: please run dist-upgrade, which should pull in
x2goserver-x2goagent
dgrunert
    Ionic: Thank you for the fast response. We are usually not using
dist-upgrade for the possibility of unwanted package removal. In this
case, it is not possible due to some messed up dependencies of nvidia
drivers.
dgrunert
    Ionic: But a simple apt-get install x2goserver-x2goagent
Ionic
    dgrunert: uh, that's bad
Ionic
    we actually deprecated x2goagent and replaced the package with
x2goserver-x2goagent,
Ionic
    it shouldn't cause any harm leaving them around
Ionic
    hmmm
Ionic
    actually
Ionic
    you should be able to apt-get autoremove to get rid of those now

    maybe I should have kept x2goagent around as a dummy package... hmmm
Ionic
    well, too late for that now

This just as a reference if others still have the problem. For us, the
problem is solved. But I wasn't able to withdraw this email to the
mailing list since the link is only valid for 3 days and the problem was
solved after 6 days.
