Subject: apt-get always install the same two packages during upgrade or dist-upgrade

Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2006 15:33:23 +0100 (CET)

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.2
Severity: important


When i make upgrade two packages upgrades:

Second running apt-get upgrade - it looks identically as above - apt upgrades the same two packages.

	The following packages will be upgraded:
		python-twisted python2.3-twisted
	[...]

The same problem durring: apt-get install python2.3-twisted
Apt install this package again, and again.

Problem exist in apt, and in aptitude. But dpkg is ok:

	dpkg -iE /var/cache/apt/archives/python2.3-twisted_2.1.0-3_all.deb
	Version 2.1.0-3 of python2.3-twisted already installed, skipping.


some probably useful information:

This is a bug in python-twisted; the maintainer is already aware of it.

This is fixed in 2.1.0-4 which is now on some unstable mirrors.

the error is fixed in twisted, however it may be worthwhile to fix apt
to handle an epoch value zero.

Well I don't understand that; and if it's true it seems to still be a bug.  
We still have the behavior that apt-get is trying to reinstall the same 
packages over and over again with the same versions as are currently 
installed.  Why do those package files have the same package name and 
version number, if they're really different?  But maybe that's not 
apt-get's fault; I don't know enough about it to know.

Anyway if an occasional 'apt-get clean' is all that's needed to work around 
the problem, I can live with that.  However...

> apt-get clean; apt-get upgrade

No, this does not fix the problem.  apt-get still wants to reinstall all of 
the same packages.

Thanks,
Andrew.

For example because you did rebuild a package localy with the same
version. Or like amd64 now the official repository is a rebuild of the
same versions the unofficial archive has.

Every time.  I run apt-get clean, and then every time I run apt-get 
dist-upgrade it wants to reinstall the same list of packages.  A.

Does 'apt-cache policy foobar' list a version twice for the packages?

e.g.:
mrvn@frosties:~% apt-cache policy bash
bash:
  Installed: 3.0-14
  Candidate: 3.0-14
  Version Table:
 *** 3.0-14 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.05b-26 0
        500 http://storage stable/main Packages
     2.05b-26 0
        500 http://storage stable-i386/main Packages

Those are two bash 2.05b-26 packages that apt considers different.


mrvn@frosties:~% apt-cache policy libc6
libc6:
  Installed: 2.3.2.ds1-22
  Candidate: 2.3.2.ds1-22
  Version Table:
 *** 2.3.2.ds1-22 0
        500 http://storage stable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Those two apt considers equal.

Yes:

$ apt-cache policy screen
screen:
  Installed: 4.0.2-4.1
  Candidate: 4.0.2-4.1
  Version table:
     4.0.2-4.1 0
        300 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
     4.0.2-4.1 0
        200 http://amd64.debian.net stable/main Packages
     4.0.2-4.1 0
        990 http://amd64.debian.net testing/main Packages
 *** 4.0.2-4.1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Same for all of the other packages in the list.  So is this apt-get's 
fault, or the package archives?  If it's the package archives, then all 
users with these same lines in their sources.list files should be having 
the same symptoms as me.

Thanks, Andrew.

Compare the md5sums of the debs. They should all differ (to produce
this output).

I don't get why stable and testing differ though. That should not even
be possible. They are the same file on the same fs.

In what order do you have them in sources.list? Maybe they only get
merged properly in some orders.

Which package does apt-get download? The amd64.debian.net one as the
pining dictates or the ftp.debian.org one as it is first? Maybe it
wants one but the downloader screws up and picks the other since it
has the same version.

Good guess.  I changed the order to move the http.us.debian.org line
to the end, and now the problem is at least partly resolved:

It downloads the one from amd64.debian.net.

This patch should fix the bug. Previously, pkgCacheGenerator::MergeList() 
would stop when it found a Version less than or equal to the one being added, 
but if the hashes didn't match at first, it would always add a new Version, 
even if there was a Version with a matching Hash. My patch loops until a 
matching Version and Hash is found *or* the new version is greater than the 
remaining old ones, which makes the second loop unnecessary.

FYI, I am seeing this problem as well, but this patch, while it
applies cleanly, does not resolve it for me.  I've tried after apt-get
clean and after removing the /var/cache/apt/*.bin files, and I've
tried applying only the first patch hunk, with no success.

I, too, still see similar symptoms, but I believe the cause to be different. 
My patch fixes the code that groups identical package versions together; 
without patching, it sometimes fails to do that, i.e. it fails to see that a 
version of higher priority is in fact identical to the installed version. By 
patching apt-cache.cc so that apt-cache policy prints the hash value of each 
version group I can see that pkgCacheGenerator::MergeList() works correctly. 
Perhaps the hash calculation is broken?

Is anyone experienced this bug when using apt >= 0.7.10 ? If yes, does 'apt-get clean'
resolve it? If no, does patch [1] resolve it?

No, I can no longer reproduce this bug.  Looking back over my earlier 
comments, it seems that it was caused by multiple package files being 
available from multiple sources including amd64.debian.net, but I've long 
since removed that source from my sources.list.  I don't know if it's even 
available any more.

Thanks for continuing to work on this bug, though.

   [ David Kalnischkies ]

     Translation files, configurable with Acquire::Translation
     (Closes: #444222, #448216, #550564)
   * Ignore :qualifiers after package name in build dependencies
     for now as long we don't understand them (Closes: #558103)
   * apt-pkg/contrib/mmap.{cc,h}:
     - extend it to have a growable flag - unused now but maybe...
   * apt-pkg/pkgcache.h:
     - use long instead of short for {Ver,Desc}File size,
       patch from Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal, thanks! (Closes: #538917)
   * apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc:
     - allow also to skip the last patch if target is reached,
       thanks Bernhard R. Link! (Closes: #545699)
   * ftparchive/writer.{cc,h}:
     - add --arch option for packages and contents commands
     - if an arch is given accept only *_all.deb and *_arch.deb instead
       of *.deb. Thanks Stephan Bosch for the patch! (Closes: #319710)
     - add APT::FTPArchive::AlwaysStat to disable the too aggressive
       caching if versions are build multiply times (not recommend)
       Patch by Christoph Goehre, thanks! (Closes: #463260)
   * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
     - stdin redirected to /dev/null takes all CPU (Closes: #569488)

     - remove creation of empty dir /usr/share/apt
   * doc/apt-cdrom.8.xml:

 .
   [ Ivan Masár ]
   * Slovak translation update. Closes: #568294
 .
   [ Michael Vogt ]
   * [BREAK] merged lp:~mvo/apt/history
     - this writes a /var/log/apt/history tagfile that contains details
       from the transaction (complements term.log)
   * methods/http.cc:
     - add cache-control headers even if no cache is given to allow
       adding options for intercepting proxies
     - add Acquire::http::ProxyAutoDetect configuration that
       can be used to call a external helper to figure out the
       proxy configuration and return it to apt via stdout
       (this is a step towards WPAD and zeroconf/avahi support)
   * abicheck/
     - add new abitest tester using the ABI Compliance Checker from
       http://ispras.linuxfoundation.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker
 .
   [ Robert Collins ]
   * Change the package index Info methods to allow apt-cache policy to be
     useful when using several different archives on the same host.
