For those in a hurry that just want things to work again here a few workarounds for now:
Workaround #1 - uninstall and install $ apt remove qemu-system-gui # the remove will complain the same way as the upgrade, but an install # of the new version over this state "rH" works. # You most likely had this installed through qemu-system-x86 # so remember to re-install dependency removed packages as well: $ apt install qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-gui Workaround #2 - use repackaged 5.1+dfsg-4ubuntu1 (If you can't remove qemu* packages for some reason) # replace original 5.1+dfsg-4ubuntu1 with one that does not have the prerm issue $ wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1906245/+attachment/5439620/+files/qemu-system-gui_5.1+dfsg-4ubuntu1_amd64.repackaged.lp1906245.deb $ dpkg -i qemu-system-gui_5.1+dfsg-4ubuntu1_amd64.repackaged.lp1906245.deb # upgrade to 5.1+dfsg-4ubuntu2 (now working) $ apt install qemu-system-gui -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906245 Title: qemu-system-gui 1:5.1+dfsg-4ubuntu2 fails to upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1906245/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
