[QGIS-Developer] Deploying 3.10.8 LTR on Debian 10

[Patrick Dunford]

OK so comparing dependencies has not found any that appear significant. 
Only differences found were in a couple of OpenJDK packages.

Methodology:

1. Create a list of packages and versions from the entire system using 
dpkg-query:

 Â Â Â  dpkg-query -W -f='${binary:Package}|${Version}\n' >pkglist.txt

2. Compare two package lists using this Python script:

# pkgcheck.py
# compare package lists and version details

# declarations
import argparse

# set up command line argument parser
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='pkgcheck')
parser.add_argument('firstfile')
parser.add_argument('secondfile')

# get arguments
argList = sys.argv[1:]Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  # drop the script 
name parameter
args = parser.parse_args(argList)
firstFile = args.firstfile
secondFile = args.secondfile

# read files as CSV
firstCSV = open(firstFile, mode = 'r')
firstPkgs = firstCSV.readlines()
secondCSV = open(secondFile, mode = 'r')
secondPkgs = secondCSV.readlines()
outFile = open('pkgcheck.txt','w+')
# first iteration with each line of firstPkgs look up in secondPkgs and 
compare
print(firstFile + " >< " + secondFile)
for firstPkg in firstPkgs:
 Â Â Â  firstLine = firstPkg.split('|')
 Â Â Â  firstName = firstLine[0].strip('\n')
 Â Â Â  firstVersion = firstLine[1].strip('\n')
 Â Â Â  firstFound = False
 Â Â Â  for secondPkg in secondPkgs:
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  secondLine = secondPkg.split('|')
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  secondName = secondLine[0].strip('\n')
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  secondVersion = secondLine[1].strip('\n')
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  if firstName == secondName:
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  firstFound = True
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  if firstVersion <> secondVersion:
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  outFile.write("Version Mismatch In Second: " + 
firstFile + ":: " + firstName + "::" + firstVersion + " <> " + 
secondFile + "::" + secondName + "::" + secondVersion + '\n')
 Â Â Â  if firstFound == False:
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  outFile.write("Package Missing in Second: " + firstFile 
+ " :: " + firstName + " :: " + firstVersion + "\n")
# second iteration with each line of secondPkgs look up in firstPkgs and 
compare
print(secondFile + " >< " + firstFile)
for secondPkg in secondPkgs:
 Â Â Â  secondLine = secondPkg.split('|')
 Â Â Â  secondName = secondLine[0].strip('\n')
 Â Â Â  secondVersion = secondLine[1].strip('\n')
 Â Â Â  secondFound = False
 Â Â Â  for firstPkg in firstPkgs:
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  firstLine = firstPkg.split('|')
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  firstName = firstLine[0].strip('\n')
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  firstVersion = firstLine[1].strip('\n')
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  if firstName == secondName:
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  secondFound = True
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  if firstVersion <> secondVersion:
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  outFile.write("Version Mismatch In First: "Â  + 
secondFile + ":: " + secondName + "::" + secondVersion + " <> " + 
firstFile + "::" + firstName + "::" + firstVersion + "\n")
 Â Â Â  if secondFound == False:
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  outFile.write("Package Missing In First: " + secondFile + ":: " 
+ secondName + "::" + secondVersion + "\n")

The only version mismatches found were

openjdk-11-jre:amd64 11.0.8+10-1~deb10u1 <> openjdk-11-jre:amd64 
11.0.7+10-3~deb10u1

openjdk-11-jre-headless:amd64 11.0.8+10-1~deb10u1 <> 
openjdk-11-jre-headless:amd64 11.0.7+10-3~deb10u1
