[Bug 924079] Re: do-release-upgrade fails to upgrade from Oneiric to Precise: Couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libncurses5, probably a dependency cycle
Closing the precise task for this. It should have probably been against update-manager, so someone could hack up a workaround, not against apt, which was already fixed, but the point's a bit moot now with both Oneiric and Precise being EOL. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924079 Title: do-release-upgrade fails to upgrade from Oneiric to Precise: Couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libncurses5, probably a dependency cycle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/924079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Seems like this class of apt is a bit sketchy in older releases bugs could be worked around by the same release-upgrader-apt backport workaround that we used for lucid-precise.

strictly speaking there is no change to be made in apt in precise to fix this, but I've opened a task so that we can track this for 12.04.1.

Of course after doing that i had to dpkg -r roundcube-mysql as well since the new libncurses cause issued issues for that. But now it seems like clear sailing.
