Nope, the problem is still present in -proposed. Here's a more detailed procedure of reproducing the bug:
- Do a clean Ubuntu install. I installed Ubuntu from the 16.04.3 desktop media to a VirtualBox VM. - Do a "apt update && apt upgrade" as usual - Per the instructions from <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed>, do what is told in the "Selective upgrading from -proposed" section. - Add a stuck job to the CUPS queue. My way to do this is to add a network printer with URI "socket://0.0.0.0". As the driver I used the "Generic PCL Laser". Now, print a test page. - Now we should be able to pinpoint the packages we want to upgrade to -proposed. Run command "sudo apt -t xenial-proposed install cups-daemon" - Now we have a broken packaging system. The command "sudo apt upgrade" will fail. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642966 Title: package cups-daemon 2.1.3-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1642966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
