** Description changed: + [Impact] + Upgrading from Xenial/Mitaka to a newer release such as Newton or beyond will break since the newer packages dropped python-swauth package but do not uninstall it resulting in an install conflict. This patch fixes this by ensuring the upgrade uninstalls python-swauth prior to installing new swauth. + + [Test Case] + * boot Xenial host + * sudo apt install swauth + * sudo add-apt-repository -y cloud-archive:newton (or whichever we are testing) + * sudo apt update + * sudo apt install swauth (upgrade) + + OR + + * boot Bionic host + * sudo apt install swauth -ensure it installs cleanly + + [Regression Potential] + None envisaged + + -------- + Versions greater than 1.0.4-0 have dropped the python-swauth package but do not remove it such that an upgrade breaks with error like: Unpacking swauth (1.1.0-3~cloud0) over (1.0.4-0ubuntu1.16.04.1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/swauth_1.1.0-3~cloud0_all.deb (--unpack): - trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/swauth/__init__.py', which is also in package python-swauth 1.0.4-0ubuntu1.16.04.1 + trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/swauth/__init__.py', which is also in package python-swauth 1.0.4-0ubuntu1.16.04.1 Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.23-0ubuntu10) ...
