SRU request: Impact: Users upgrading from Hardy to Lucid have a broken virtinst installation because the transition from python-central to python- support leaves obsolete files behind in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist- packages/virtinst.
This update fixes the issue by adding a python-virtinst.preinst file that uses pycentral to remove the obsolete files. An added complexity is the fact that python-virtinst is now a transitional package, so extra logic is added to specify the new package name to pycentral. See attached debdiff. How to reproduce: test case #1: - Install hardy - Install virt-manager - Upgrade to lucid - Try running virt-manager - Install upgraded package in -proposed - Try running virt-manager test case #2: - Install hardy - Install virt-manager - Install updated package in -proposed - Upgrade to lucid - Try running virt-manager ** Patch added: "SRU debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/680627/+attachment/1873558/+files/virtinst_0.500.1-2ubuntu6.2.debdiff ** Also affects: virt-manager (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: virt-manager (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New => Confirmed ** Package changed: virt-manager (Ubuntu) => virtinst (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: virtinst (Ubuntu Lucid) Assignee: (unassigned) => Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680627 Title: [SRU] Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: No module named version -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
