Subject	Bug#1071519: apt: "--solver 3.0" does not want to upgrade some packages
Message-ID	<IGbp7-eDAa-5@gated-at.bofh.it>

Package: apt
Version: 2.9.3
Severity: normal

Hi,

Well, it's alpha, but still - using "--solver 3.0", I cannot upgrade some packages to the version in sid:

# apt policy iproute2
iproute2:
  Installed: 6.8.0-1
  Candidate: 6.8.0-1
  Version table:
     6.9.0-1 102
        102 http://ftp.hu.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
        102 http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
 *** 6.8.0-1 103

        990 http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages
# apt install -t unstable --mark-auto --solver 3.0 iproute2
Summary:                        
  Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 56

Without "--solver 3.0", it works:

# apt install -t unstable --mark-auto iproute2
Upgrading:                      
  iproute2

It's not quite clear to me what goes on there, but this may get lost in
translation between the old solver and the new one.

If you can do so, please use -o Dir::Log::Solver=<absolute path to file.edsp>
to specify a file to dump the solver request to, and then compress and
attach it to the bug report (it might need --solver internal if you
default to 3.0, I need to check and eventually fix solver logging for
3.0 still).

It is possible that this is one of the weird cases where it would crash
with -o Debug::APT::Solver=1 (as that enables more assertions). I'm
currently in the process of getting the test suite to work, adjusting
the tests that can work in the first step, to then have a solid base to
check for regressions when making further changes.

It could also be that the reason is the --mark-auto. This marks the
request to install that specific version as automatic presumably, and
you are in an install request, so the solver will first try to satsify
dependencies, where it will see the installed iproute2 as the preferred
option (since it's not upgrading, it minimizes upgrades), and then later
it will try to install the chosen iproute2 but it's not possible anymore
so it backtracks a level and just skips the request since it is
optional. I think this can be fixed however, that's a problem of
translating the selection state to the solver problem (i.e. this package
is marked auto now; but we actually have requested it manually so it
should be executed).

It also turns out we sometimes lose unsatisfiable items when
backtracking. We did not lose the item here presumably, otherwise
iproute2 would have been removed, but not sure.

In any case, attaching an EDSP file is best so we can reproduce it;
running with -o Debug::APT::Solver={1,2,3} (depending on how much output is
needed) could also give you a good insight to the point you can just
tell me.

I've, tried that, but no luck (different package this time):

# apt install -t unstable --mark-auto --solver 3.0 -o Dir::Log::Solver=/tmp/solver.edsp cd-paranoia
Summary:
  Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 124
# ls -l /tmp/solver.edsp
ls: cannot access '/tmp/solver.edsp': No such file or directory

The good news is, --mark-auto really seems to be the trigger.

Well, that's what the documentation says, but that's not how it works
according to my experience. In real life, what "--mark-auto" appears to
mean is "do not touch the auto/manual status of the package, leave it as
it was before". And that's _EXACTLY_ what I want 90% of the time when I
run "apt install", so I tend to always use this flag. I rarely install
new packages which I would also want to keep, but I do install versions
of random packages from unstable on a daily basis to see what's coming -
and I don't want those to be marked as manually installed.

Actually, if I mess up the command (e.g. I forgot the "-t unsable")
option and apt finds that the package is already up to date, then apt
still marks the package as manually installed even if "--mark-auto" was
used - now that is annoying.

There really should be a better way to say "if a package is already
installed and I just want to upgrade it, then under no circumstances
change it from auto-installed to manual or vice versa". Otherwise,
eveything gets marked as manually installed over time, and "apt
autoremove" becomes pretty much useless.

Regards,
Gabor
