To ensure the current upgraded Debian testing has libc6 > 2.28

BudiKusasi · 03-02-2021, 12:22 AM

Tried to have debian testing by upgrade it via apt package manager, so it was done

Code:

$ cat /etc/debian_version /etc/os-release 
bullseye/sid
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"

and listed all to ensure a newer libc6, but surprisingly it's not upgraded yet so then:

Code:

$ sudo apt upgrade libc6/testing
...

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (< 2.29) but 2.31-9 is to be installed
 libc6 : Breaks: libgegl-0.4-0 (< 0.4.18) but 0.4.16-0.1~mx19+1 is to be installed
 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.28-10) but 2.31-9 is to be installed
 libgcc1:i386 : Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.2.4) but it is not installable

How can it be not upgraded having libc6 > 2.28 which is (mostly) only 2.31 distributed now as printed above, although it's already full upgrade ?
Please help solve.

The first thing that comes to mind is apt install --fix-missing which normally resolves issues with dependencies

Try using Synaptic or aptitude and manually force the packages to upgrade.
Either way you are probably going to break your system.

Or just write down the broken packages and remove them then upgrade and reinstall them.
Probably easier to just backup your data and configs and install testing/sid.

The way it is done to move from stable to testing is to remove all references to the stable from your sources.list. You put in its place testing where stable or buster was. An apt update then apt dist-upgrade will upgrade the entire distribution to the new one chosen. Them packages are not upgrading if you have the references telling the system they are available by leftover entries in the sources.list. Below I show the procedure as you can see if I wanted to I can update my Pi to testing using it with the correct libc6 versions being installed.
