I was not able to excute the steps in the documention. It was probably because I did not undersatnd them well enough. While I'm a Linux user, I'm not all the knowledgable about admin tasks. It's a credit to the distribution that I have been able to use the system with very few issues for a numbers of years without having to know all that much about admin. In any case I did get through the update and I waited for another update to occur to be sure that issue was fixed and yes, all is well. My feedback... In cases like this a litltle more detail in the directions would be helpful for less expert users. If the specific example had been used in addition to the general directions, I think it would have solved my issue and maybe that for a few others, too. I was very impressed by the response to the issue. Thank you!!

Hello Ashutosh, or anyone else affected, Accepted nspr into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nspr/4.8.9-1ubuntu2.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Thus far things are looking good. Enabled the proposed ,did a cycle , then got the regular precise back going again , update checks , installs etc seem to be happy. Even after a reboot we're still here , and put propose back to sleep and things. I'll give things a closer inspection next time I'm awake.

Hello Ashutosh, or anyone else affected, Accepted nspr into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nspr/4.8.9-1ubuntu2.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: nspr (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Triaged => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036794 Title: unmet dependencies during update of nspr4: libnspr4 : Breaks: evolution-plugins (< 3.2.0-0ubuntu2) but 2.32.2-0ubuntu7 is to be installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nspr/+bug/1036794/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: [Impact] An SRU of nspr to make CD-based upgrades work better from 10.04 to 12.04 has caused failures in other cases where users have continuously upgraded their systems from Ubuntu 9.04 or earlier and as a result have had old, obsolete evolution packages held back. These users can now not upgrade at all using update-manager. [Test case] 1. Fish an old Ubuntu 9.04 CD out of the drawer and install in English. Make sure that the language-support-en package and language-support-translations-en are installed. 2. Manually upgrade to 10.04. Check that language-support-en is still installed. 3. Run update-manager -d to upgrade to 12.04. Verify that this upgrade fails. 4. Enable -proposed, so that precise-proposed will be used in the upgrade to 12.04. 5. Run update-manager -d again. Verify that the upgrade now succeeds. + Alternatively: + 1. Get a 12.04 chroot + 2. Add natty and jaunty to /etc/apt/sources.list + 3. sudo apt-get install evolution-plugins/natty evolution-common/natty libnspr4/natty language-support-translations-en/jaunty language-support-en/jaunty language-support-writing-en/jaunty + 4. Drop natty and jaunty from /etc/apt/sources.list + 5. Check that system is broken in apt-get -f install or apt-get dist-upgrade + 6. Get new libnspr4 + 7. Upgrade now works, removing language-support-translations-en and language-support-en + [Regression potential] The risk of regression here is difficult to quantify without an exhaustive examination of all historic packages in Ubuntu that depended on one or more of these now-obsolete language support packages. Adding these Conflicts may result in other, different upgrade failures for yet another set of users. What can be said is that any user affected by either this regression, or a regression resulting from this change, had obsolete packages installed which should be removed from their system; and the only effective way to identify any such remaining cases is by making the upgrade to 12.04 refuse to work until they've been dealt with. - Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'
