So those are the "interesting" parts of what happens package-wise:
remove/obsolete: openoffice.org (it was demoted from main to universe) keep: openoffice.org-hyphenation openoffice.org-hyphenation-hr add: openoffice.org-writer upgrade: openoffice.org-{base,common} I recreated that reduced scenario by sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-{base,common,hyphenation,hyphenation-hr} hyphen-hr openoffice.org sudo dpkg -P openoffice.org-writer in my oneiric VM, and then switching apt to precise and sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-{base,common,writer} openoffice.org- That removed openoffice.org and added -writer, no problems. So what happens in above full logs is that it removes openoffice.org because it went to universe. That's really an error, the transitional package should be in main for precise, and in 12.10 we remove the whole openoffice.org transitional source. I re-promoted it to main and seeded it. Due to removing openoffice.org, apt now needs to satisfy Package: hyphen-hr Depends: openoffice.org (>= 1.0.3-3) | openoffice.org-writer | openoffice.org-impress, dictionaries-common (>= 0.10) so it installs -writer as the second-best alternative. This really should be updated to depend on libreoffice, too, so I'll add a task. I'll run a full do-release-upgrade wit the updated start scenario now and see whether I can reproduce now. But perhaps with the above two fixes this bug will already be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903475 Title: Failed to upgrade from Oneiric to Precise: E:Could not perform immediate configuration on 'openoffice.org-writer' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/903475/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
