#229199 — Some packages missing for latest zsh version on stretch security repo

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello,

On a Debian Stretch server with the security repo enabled, I have an error
today when trying to install zsh :
       The following packages have unmet dependencies:
        zsh : Depends: zsh-common (= 5.3.1-4) but 5.3.1-4+deb9u4 is to be
installed

This is caused by the security repo having only the zsh-common package in
version 5.3.1-4+deb9u4, and missing the zsh package.

This version was accepted today, as show in the following message :
https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-changes/2020/12/msg00004.html

`apt-cache policy` shows this :

$ > apt-cache policy zsh
zsh:
  Installed: 5.3.1-4+b3
  Candidate: 5.3.1-4+b3
  Version table:
 *** 5.3.1-4+b3 500
        500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ > apt-cache policy zsh-common
zsh-common:
  Installed: 5.3.1-4
  Candidate: 5.3.1-4+deb9u4
  Version table:
     5.3.1-4+deb9u4 500
        500 http://security.debian.org stretch/updates/main amd64 Packages
 *** 5.3.1-4 500
        500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I downloaded the package list at
http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/stretch/updates/main/binary-all/Packages.gz

It contains the following packages :

Package: zsh-common
Source: zsh
Version: 5.3.1-4+deb9u4

Package: zsh-doc
Source: zsh
Version: 5.3.1-4+deb9u4

But the other packages from the zsh source are missing.

I tried reaching out to team@security.debian.org but they haven't answered
yet.
Is it the right way to deal with this problem, or should I open a bug on
some tracker ?

This could just be a temporary issue.

The LTS team is different than Debian Security Team.

Kind regards,

For everyone's information, I got the following reply from Salvatore
(Debian Security team) :

And he was right : the zsh package was built and uploaded in the
latest hours, like he suggested.

Also, thank you Andrei for pointing me to the Debian LTS Team, this
might be useful for other requests.

Regards,
Sylvain
