Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* gce-compute-image-packages has been split to multiple source packages and
google-guest-agent (written in Go) replaced the services originally written in
Python. The upgrade to gce-compute-image-packages compatible with
google-guest-agent replaced the Python modules (python3-google-compute-engine)
with an empty transitional package. The removal of the modules could break
local software relying on those modules.
* The fix is not providing the empty python3-google-compute-engine
transitional package, but adding Breaks: to google-guest-agent to force the
removal of it. Since removals are not performed automatically by apt-get
upgrade (not unattended-upgrades) the administrator needs to approve removal.
[Test Case]
* Set up a system with the unfixed version of the packages, including
python3-google-compute-engine installed.
* Upgrade to the new set of packages:
apt-get upgrade
* Observe that the gce-compute-image-packages and
python3-google-compute-engine packages are kept back.
* Upgrade google-compute-engine manually:
apt install google-compute-engine
* This should succeed, removing python3-google-compute-engine
Dist-upgrade from Trusty:
