This is a huge problem... why extlinux, syslinux, and syslinux-common has been updated from debian and not from

jessie/nosystemd ?

I think that I I not fix this issues my system will not boot.
This should downgrade to my previous versions...

Code: Select all

apt-get install extlinux=2:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u1 syslinux=2:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u1 syslinux-common=2:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u1

I can't see my previous versions!

Code: Select all

root@antix1:etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-cache showpkg extlinux
Package: extlinux
Versions: 
3:6.03+dfsg-5+deb8u1 (var/lib/apt/lists/softlibre.unizar.es_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages) (var/lib/dpkg/status)

Any ideas?

After reboot the system works fine. I'm not sure why.

Why the pagages extlinux syslinux syslinux-common are no longed pinned?

Did you mention which version of antiX you are using? The recent versions use grub2 as the installed bootloader so those packages should have no effect on booting your system. Even if you were booting your installed system with extlinux, updating those packages should have NO EFFECT on booting your system.

Those packages will only affect new systems you make that use syslinux or extlinux as the bootloader. Uusally this is only live-usbs. Unless this is something new, the fundamental problem is that the sysliux devs goofed when they made an incompatible upgrade to version 6.xx. The 6.xx versions would not work with files from the earlier 4.xx versions and the 4.xx versions would not work with files from the 6.xx versions. So we had to pin these packages to the earlier versions until we had a chance to upgrade the files on our released isos. Then after we upgraded the files we had to unpin the packages. The syslinux devs created a nightmare and we dealt with it as best we could. They took an approach that was almost guaranteed to create as much breakage as possible.
