[Bug 1560797] Re: apt does not configure Pre-Depends: before depending package

[tuhawks]

Richard and Winfried,

   I thank you both for your input and knowledge.  I did basically
:
apt-get autoremove

apt-get update

apt-get install -f

then everything seem to work, for now???  I will wait for the next updates
and see if anything happens.

  SRU INFORMATION
  ===============
  Fix: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/commit/?id=c75e60eb (applied in Xenial last week)

  Test case:
   - Install clean wily amd64 desktop + install libgcrypt20:i386
   - change apt sources to xenial, apt-get dist-upgrade
   - with current apt, upgrade will often fail because systemd expects a configure libgcrypt20, or util-linux expects a configured libudev1 or similar, but these packages aren't configured.
   - with the fixed apt, the upgrade should run smoothly.

  Regression potential: Any bug here might potentially break package
  installation or upgrades completely. That said, the fix is quite
  obvious and has been in production in xenial for a week. Testing this
  SRU should include several dist-upgrades as well as some normal
  package installs in trusty/wily.
