Hi,

I am observing this:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libghc-decimal-dev libghc-decimal-doc libghc-decimal-prof libupnp6

I am not sure why apt thinks I can upgrade
libghc-data-lens-template-dev:amd64; apt-get does not allow me to
install it:

$ LANG=C sudo apt-get install -t experimental libghc-data-lens-template-dev libghc-data-lens-dev libghc-comonad-dev libghc-semigroups-dev libghc-semigroupoids-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libghc-data-lens-dev : Depends: libghc-comonad-dev-4.2.5-ae1b1 but it is not installable
                        Depends: libghc-semigroupoids-dev-4.2-68274 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Just "apt-get upgrade" does _not_ propose installing anything.


Not sure what may be causing this, or to help you debug this. Any particular
verbosity flags that you might want me to try out?

'install' (and dist-upgrade) can do everything they want to, 'apt
upgrade' can install new and upgrade old packages but not remove them
and 'apt-get upgrade' can only upgrade packages, so different solutions
wouldn't be a problem.
That 'apt upgrade' is erroring out like that is one through as that
isn't supposed to happen…
And idealy the three wouldn't grossly disagree, but that just as a bonus…


Can you attach your /var/lib/dpkg/status file (preferable compressed) ?
[I think you know, but the usual disclaimer ramble anyhow: The file
contains information about ALL packages you have installed and in what
version. In case you don't want or can't expose these details to the
public, you can sent it to me privately, if that is acceptable for you]

Keeping the directory content of /var/lib/apt/lists someplace save might
come in handy, too, but please just back it up somewhere as the
resulting file would be too large and is usually not needed, if I can
get hold of the Packages files any other way.
staging repository is involved through. Is that one public?


There are a bunch of debug flags we could try, but with ~300 packages
involved that is usually not too much fun to look at via mail…

Why solver comes to this solution:
-o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=1
-o Debug::pkgDepCache::Marker=1
-o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1

How the execution shedule looks and why:
-o Debug::pkgOrderList=1  (usually just noise through)
-o Debug::pkgPackageManager=1
