This affects a substantial proportion of amd64 users, who will have multiarch enabled (e.g., for ia32-libs or for skype). This fix allows apt to calculate the upgrade correctly, preferring native packages over foreign ones whenever possible. TEST CASE: 1) on an oneiric amd64 system, install the skype:i386 package from the Canonical Partner repository. 2) attempt a release upgrade to precise with update-manager -d. 3) verify that the release upgrade failed, with errors in apt.log indicating involvement of :i386 packages 4) install the apt from oneiric-proposed 5) attempt the release upgrade a second time 6) verify that the release upgrade completes successfully. RELEASE NOTES: although users will generally have -updates installed already before they begin the upgrade, this particular issue has enough of an impact on the upgrade for amd64 desktop users that I think it's worth singling out in the release notes telling users that they need to use the apt from -updates. (I'm assuming here that we won't have time to enforce this through update-manager prior to release.) This reproducer was verified to work in the live system of current precise-dailies. It doesn't work on an installed system where libc6:i386 is already installed! 1. Drop libc6-dev: sudo dpkg -P libc6-dev 2. Downgrade to a previous libc: wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/2.13-20ubuntu9/+build/2979954/+files/libc-bin_2.13-20ubuntu9_amd64.deb https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/2.13-20ubuntu9/+build/2979954/+files/libc6_2.13-20ubuntu9_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libc*.bin 3. Ensure apt is consistent: sudo apt-get install -f should not complain about anything. 4. Install i386 package: sudo apt-get install cpp:i386 This will propose to remove libc-bin and install the newer version of libc-bin:i386 instead. It seems that apt prefers install the foreign arch libc6-bin:i386 over upgrading the native arch libc6-bin to the current version?

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13.3
---
apt (0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13.3) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low
[ Jean-Louis Dupond ]
* Backport fixes from precise verison of apt, to fix multiarch upgrades
from oneiric.
* apt-pkg/depcache.cc:
- prefer native providers over foreigns even if the chain is foreign.
(LP: #850264)
* cmdline/apt-get.cc:
- ignore foreign architectures if we check if a provides has only one
resolver as it's basically the same for the user, so no need to choose.
* apt-pkg/deb/deblistparser.cc:
- M-A: foreign packages provide for other archs, too
[ Colin Watson ]
* Include 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13.1 patches.
* apt-pkg/algorithms.cc: Iterate Breaks the same way as Conflicts, so that
we resolve virtual package Breaks more effectively (LP: #922485).
* apt-pkg/algorithms.{cc,h}: Use an int to represent resolver scores, not
a signed short, because large upgrades can result in an overflow for
core packages (LP: #917173).
