I've updated from version "Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS" to "Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS" I was trying to update our library software (http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.08.06.tar.gz)
I've done: sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/ubuntu.12.04.packages sudo dselect Option: install Unpacking libxml2-dev:i386 (desde .../libxml2-dev_2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.2_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libxml2-dev_2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.2_i386.deb (--unpack): './usr/bin/xml2-config' is different from the same file on the system dpkg-deb: error: subprocess colar was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Processing 'triggers' to man-db ... Errors found while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libxml2-dev_2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.2_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libxml2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987502 Title: libxml2-dev: /usr/bin/xml2-config isn't identical across all arch Status in “libxml2” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libxml2” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: [Background] In the M-A implementation of version 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu1, /usr/bin/xml2-config still contains M-A tripples, which is troublesome when the package libxml2-dev is marked as M-A: same. The problem is caused by the sed call in debian/rules says "usr/lib/<tripple>", while it wasn't like that in xml2-config script itself. [Impact] libxml2-dev is not M-A co-installable [Development Fix] libxml2 version 2.7.8.dfsg-9 in Debian Sid [Stable Fix] Change required is trivial, in debian/rules: - sed -i -e 's,/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH),/usr/lib,' debian/libxml2-dev/usr/bin/xml2-config + sed -i -e 's,/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH),/lib,' debian/libxml2-dev/usr/bin/xml2-config [Test Case] Enable M-A in testing environment (amd64 for instance), and try to install both libxml2-dev:i386 and libxml2-dev:amd64 which were newly built with the mentioned patch. If the action failed with something like './usr/bin/xml2-config' is different from the same file on the system, then the bug was not fixed. [Regression Potential] xml2-config reports the libdir is /usr/lib, while the actual ones are /usr/lib/<triplets>. This might break applications whose build system can't find libraries correctly in the previous path but relies on xml2-config's output. I recommend to use pkg-config instead of this script.
