Conflict between sysvinit-utils-antix and sysvinit-utils

[XaverMember]

‘# apt full-upgrade’ gives me this error message:

Does anybody have an explanation
and an idea how to resolve this?
Strange: Neither sysvinit-utils-antix nor sysvinit-utils are set to be installed.

use apt upgrade

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

@ anticapitalista

I have used apt upgrade.
That is why only 3 packages are left to be upgraded.

This conflict already exists for quite a while.
So I wonder, if it is caused by a misconfiguration of my system,
or if it is due to general changes.

Hi Xaver,

See post #72445.

At that time anticapitalista advised me that the -antix version was for runit and the sysvinit-utils was for sysvinit systems.

@ stevers0

Thank you – I have the right one installed.

Which 3 packages are left to be upgraded?

This all started to appear with apt-solver.
From what I can tell in the packaging there is no error and the error is from apt solver itself.

The packages left to be upgraded are:

libcap2/unstable 1:2.75-10+b2 amd64 [aktualisierbar von: 1:2.75-10+b1]
links2/sid 2.29-2.0antix1 amd64 [aktualisierbar von: 2.29-2+b3]
rsyslog/unstable 8.2510.0-5 amd64 [aktualisierbar von: 8.2506.0-6]

So far I have not noticed any negative effect.

[anticapitalistaForum Admin]

libcap2 and links2 should install.
rsyslog needs to be rebuilt without elogind/systemd

I have run ‘apt upgrade’ again, but links2 is still left:

root@b400vc:~# apt update && apt list --upgradable && apt upgrade -d
Hit:1 https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable InRelease
Hit:2 https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mx/packages/antix/sid sid InRelease
2 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
links2/sid 2.29-2.0antix1 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.29-2+b3]
rsyslog/unstable 8.2510.0-5 amd64 [upgradable from: 8.2506.0-6]
Not upgrading:                  
  links2  rsyslog

Summary:
  Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 2

what does apt install links2 show?
do you have any packages on hold?

links2 requires libdirectfb-1.7-7t64,
but there is no libdirectfb in the repos

root@b400vc:~# apt install links2

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Both of those libs are installed on my Sid system.
