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


Hi Thomas,

My suspicion here is that upgrading from Debian 9 to Debian 10 removes a package that is an eprints dependency.  I don't think I have yet tried installing EPrints on Debian 10.  If I get a chance I will spin up an temporary VM and see if there is an eprinst dependency not available in Debian 10 that would cause the 9 to 10 upgrade to uninstall eprints or break if you try to hold eprints.

Regards

David Newman

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

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
Thomas
