** Description changed:
- The noble update picked up those dependencies on armhf due to t64
- mangling changes in the C++ symbols, and is now uninstallable.
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ The noble packagekit update[1] to fix LP: #2086773 picked up those
+ dependencies on armhf due to t64 mangling changes in the C++ symbols,
+ and is now uninstallable:
+
+ ubuntu@n-armhf:~$ sudo apt install packagekit
+ Reading package lists... Done
+ Building dependency tree... Done
+ 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:
+ packagekit : Depends: libapt-pkg6.0t64 (>= 2.8.2) but 2.7.14build2 is to be
installed
+ E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
+
+ The planned fix is to remove apt 2.8.2 from noble-proposed (done),
+ rebuild packagekit (this bug), and release that.
+
+
+ 1. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/1.2.8-2ubuntu1
+
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ On a noble armhf system, install packagekit from noble-proposed. It must
+ not pull in other non-packagekit packages from noble-proposed.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ This is a no-change rebuild. Like all SRUs, it's always built with the
+ proposed pocket enabled, but this time the newer apt 2.8.2 is not there,
+ so that dependency will not be picked up. That being said, the risk is
+ the same that an unintended dependency from noble-proposed will be
+ picked up, but the test plan specifically checks for that.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ This is fixing a regression introduced by the release of
+ https://launchpad.net/bugs/2086773 to updates, where even though it was
+ noticed that the excuses page was flagging packagekit to be depending on
+ apt from proposed, it was incorrectly deemed irrelevant by me
+ (@ahasenack) at the time.
