Public bug reported: When attempting to install phpunit from -proposed on Xenial, I get the following error message:
$ sudo apt install phpunit Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: phpunit : Depends: php-codecoverage (>= 3.0) but 2.2.4+dfsg-1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Thus I'm unable to install the package. So what about php-codecoverage? Well, as mentioned above, 2.2.4+dfsg-1 is in the release archives, but doesn't fullfill the version requirement. Phph-codecoverage 3.0.2+dfsg-1 is in Xenial proposed, but it fails to build, because it in turn depends on phpunit >= 5 (see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/227235963/buildlog_ubuntu-xenial-amd64 .php-codecoverage_3.0.2%2Bdfsg-1_BUILDING.txt.gz for details). So phpunit built successfully, but the binary requires a newer version of php-codecoverage which in turn won't build because phpunit cannot be installed. (This issue is also affecting various other php*-packages which depend on phpunit, but this seems to be the core issue.)
