Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I just tried doing a "apt-get dist-upgrade" of a potato system to woody.
(First time I had done so on a non-freshly installed system.) It failed,
leaving many packages unconfigured and/or uninstalled, and perl seems to
be broken and can't be upgraded.
The first problem encountered was the large amount of disk space for
downloading packages. I tried working around this by upgrading apt first
(which worked), but this wasn't enough so I created a symbolic link for
/var/cache/apt/archives to a bigger partition.
complete logs are available at
http://www.blars.org/obfuscate/
sources.list is /etc/apt/sources.list
dist-upgrade.gz is first attempt, cumulating in sucessful "apt-get upgrade apt"
dist-upgrade2.gz is second attempt, including various failed workarounds
dist-upgrade3.gz is more workarounds -- libc6 upgraded, perl fails
(warning: large files)

You will have to file bugs against the packages that are failing like
this, it is not an apt problem at all.
