Those automated upgrade tests are very appreciated. Thanks a lot for them!
We regularly get a report about
https://jenkins.debian.net/job/chroot-installation_jessie_install_gnome_upgrade_to_stretch_aptdpkg_first/
failing.
Regular dist-upgrades of GNOME (i.e. no separate apt/dpkg upgrade first)
work fine though.
I'm not sure if anyone has ever investigated this fully. It's most
likely caused by the libstdc++ transition and libsig++-2.0 being
involved in that.
Apparently in the past, it was recommended to upgrade apt and dpkg first
before a dist-upgrade. I see that the release notes for jessie no longer
do that. So I'm not sure if this is an issue which we should be
concerned about.
Regards,
Michael
