Can't upgrade hildon-base #702

Closed vandys closed 1 year ago

vandys commented 1 year ago

E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package hildon-base:arm64 due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option. E: Reverse conflicts early remove for package 'elogind:arm64' failed

I think if you add the apt option, it should work. This is on Chimaera, right?

Right, Chimaera: PRETTY_NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera)" Linux devuan-pinephone 6.1.13 #1 SMP Mon Feb 27 10:33:32 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I'll go throw that switch and see what happens. (I didn't imagine removing hildon-base would lead anywhere good.)

MerlijnWajer commented 1 year ago

I believe it would only be removed temporary during the upgrade, meaning that you will still have it installed at the end. We're still making some breaking changes to chimaera, but hopefully this is the last before the release.

Did this solve your problem? (If so, please let me know, so we can close the ticket)

vandys commented 1 year ago

Yes, I used apt -o 'APT::Force-LoopBreak=1' dist-upgrade and it completed OK. Actually, it spontaneously rebooted before I could tell it to, but it's been doing that recently anyway. It did come back, and the SW appears all up to date. Thanks!

MerlijnWajer commented 1 year ago

Thanks. The spontaneous reboots sound bad. Maybe it makes sense to open an issue for that? :)

vandys commented 1 year ago

I'm holding off on the reboot thing, hoping to pick up some clues so it's easier to chase.
