[EP-tech] Debian9 full-upgrade to Debian10 likes to remove eprints

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hi folks,

when I tried to fully upgrade our server running already minimal system-upgrade 10.6, EPrints should be removed!

root@...:/tmp# apt full-upgrade
:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  eprints libcpan-meta-perl libcurl3 libgconf2-4 libllvm3.9 libmariadbclient18 libsensors4 libtirpc1 mariadb-client-10.1 mariadb-client-core-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-core-10.1 mysql-server

After setting eprints to 'hold', the upgrade fails :(

root@...:/tmp# apt-mark hold eprints
eprints set on hold.

root@...:/tmp# apt full-upgrade

Description: Content Management System for Information Archiving
 EPrints is a web-based content management system. It allows a large
 number of contributors to share their digital objects/documents with
 others. Contributors provide descriptive data (metadata) which is
 dependent on the type of object being deposited (presentations, articles, books etc.).
 Before being published objects must be accepted by an editor. Users can
 access published objects through web-page listings, searches, email
 alerts or via integration with other systems.

I think the dependency have to be mysql-server-5.5?!
How to avoid a (manual) (re-)installation of EPrints?

Many thanks for any suggestions in advance
