Bug#770698: apt: wants to install systemd packages on wheezy system with testing at lower priority
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.9+deb7u6
Severity: important
Dear maintainer,
I added Jessie as a installation source at lower priority to my wheezy
server VM. It seems owncloud seems to be removed from testing[1]. To have
updated owncloud packages with all security fixes, I can either go for
upstream packages or to testing packages. I decided for the later
according to a recommendation[2].
In order to not have every package in wheezy-backports upgraded to testing
I made sure that wheezy-backports is pinned above testing.
That way there should not be any upgrades to the system unless I explicitely
ask for them. And aptitude agrees:
mondschein:~> LANG=C aptitude dist-upgrade
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
Yet apt-get insists otherwise:
mondschein:~> LANG=C apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
mondschein:~> LANG=C apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libaudit0 libcryptsetup4 libpam-systemd libsystemd-daemon0
libsystemd-id128-0 libsystemd-journal0 libsystemd-login0 systemd
0 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/1765 kB of archives.
After this operation, 4573 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.
This seems to be broke for me in two ways:
1) On the apt upgrade those systemd packages are not shown as held back.
2) It has no business to install these anyway. None of the packages is
currently installed and surely wheezy is priority 500 and testing is priority
150. So no business to install these. Even when I lower testing priority to 100
it insists to install these.

So it only installs *new* packages, without any existing packages depending
on them - so it appears to me.
I think it has no business to install these, and while I see that
systemd-sysv would not be installed, I´d rather keep my wheezy system
systemd free until I properly switch to it during upgrade to jessie. As
I do not like to run systemd packages on a mixture of wheezy and testing
which in itself is a work-around due to the owncloud package being
removed from testing.
I even did the install of these systemd related packages and purged them
again without any issue. So there is really *nothing* depending on it.
Why does it install these? Maybe due to being marked as essential? If so,
is there a way to tell apt not to install any essential packages from a
distro version that is not the default release?
