Thank you for the prompt response. Just to clarify, you're suggesting
pinning the Ubuntu 'mainstream' libprotobuf9 ahead of the libprotobuf9v5
coming from the PPA? Also, should I add/remove any of the other PPAs
managed under the Ubuntu containers team. Obviously I've been using the
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-lxc/lxd-git-master/ubuntu. Would it help to
add the related backports PPA,
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-lxc/buildd-backports/ubuntu ?

This may indeed cause some occasional breakage when one of those
packages revs their SOVER which is what happened there.
We won't be rebuilding all the affected bits in our PPA. What I could
recommend you do though is just pin the affected packages to the archive
version. protobuf specifically is only needed for criu which is an
optional dependency.

I expected the the updated libprotobuf9, newly renamed upstream to
libprotobuf9v5, to install and provide an alias/symlink/virtual package to
continue satisfying the dependencies of myriad other programs.

During regular system upgrade in the last two days or so, I get the
following:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libprotobuf9v5 : Conflicts: libprotobuf9 but 2.6.1-1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) libegl1-mesa-dev
2) libgles2-mesa-dev
3) libmirclient-dev
4) libmircommon-dev
5) libprotobuf-dev
6) libqt5opengl5-dev
7) libqt5sensors5-dev
8) libqt5webkit5-dev
9) libqt5websockets5-dev
10) libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev
11) python-protobuf
12) qt3d5-dev
13) qt5-default
14) qtbase5-dev
15) qtdeclarative5-dev
16) qtlocation5-dev
17) qtmultimedia5-dev
18) qtpositioning5-dev
19) qtscript5-dev
20) qttools5-dev
21) ubuntu-sdk
22) ubuntu-sdk-libs-dev
Keep the following packages at their current version:
23) libprotobuf9v5 [Not Installed]
Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
24) qtcreator recommends qt5-default
25) qtcreator recommends qtbase5-dev
26) qtcreator recommends qtdeclarative5-dev
27) qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu recommends ubuntu-sdk
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
I tried to let Ubuntu calculate multiple other solutions but all
proposed look dubious to me and I've not tried any of them. I particularly
interested in item 23 above but am not clear how to proceed. When I've
explicitly tried to install libprotobuf9v5 directly, a much more terrible
solution is proposed.
From what I can tell with Google search,
https://www.google.com/search?q=libprotobuf9v5+%3A+Conflicts%3A+libprotobuf9+but+2.6.1-1+is+installed
.,
this appears to be caused by an upstream renaming of the package from
libprotobuf9 -- libprotubuf9v5, as indicated in the various change
logs.
