Subject: horrible infinite loop upon apt-get upgrade
Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 15:11:45 +0800
Package: apt
Version: 1.3~exp1
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

In this case apt-get upgrade gets into a horrible infinite loop, needing
a ^Z to stop (^C won't).

# apt-get upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

What "following packages"? BUG! OK I'll use -f?

/var/lib/dpkg/status (or as you seem to have changed your system since
then one of the /var/backups/dpkg.status* reflecting the state of the
system at this moment in time) or it didn't happen as it is impossible
to know what is up otherwise.

(Add here my usual rambling of dpkg.status files including info about
what packages and in which version they are installed, which you might
consider private in which case you can sent it just to me if you want)

Note that the solution displayed here is a lie. You have fix-missing
enabled by default and this mode says it will do all kinds of things but
only after the display, it lists packages it can't deal with, resulting
potentially in an entirely different solution (well, "just" less
packages being upgraded than it claimed to do).  I worked on that very
recently and changed the code to do the action-potential check before
the display, but that isn't uploaded yet (git commit eb1f04dd).

Use --fix-missing --no-download in such cases.

I would strongly advice against setting --fix-missing by default
through. The intend of this mode is really not to be set permanently.

Well, that looks like a maintainerscript running amok as apt doesn't
call dpkg-query. As that loop seems to be produced by
dpkg-maintscript-helper itself, reassigning to dpkg (and keeping
a clone), but perhaps its also imagemagick calling it wrong as
imagemagick is only newly 'all', it used to be 'any'…
