[Bug 902077] Re: lucid->precise upgrade holds back X.org video drivers

[Martin Pitt]

For the case where only main is enabled, we need to add a quirk to the
release upgrader: "If universe is not enabled, remove these packages:

  xserver-xorg-video-apm
  xserver-xorg-video-ark
  xserver-xorg-video-chips
  xserver-xorg-video-i128
  xserver-xorg-video-rendition
  xserver-xorg-video-s3virge
  xserver-xorg-video-tseng
  xserver-xorg-video-voodoo

These driverse went to universe since lucid. As lucid's -video-all
depends on them, we probalby need to do this:

  - remove xserver-xorg-video-all, and above packages
  - do release upgrade
  - reinstall -video-all

Bug description:
  Upgrading lucid to precise desktop fails:

  2011-12-08 06:50:02,921 DEBUG Installing 'xserver-xorg-video-all' (Distro KeepInstalledPkgs rule)
  2011-12-08 06:50:02,975 ERROR Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
  E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

  This is probably due to

  Package: libdrm-nouveau1a
  Conflicts: libdrm-nouveau1

  To ease apt's job, this should be something like

  Breaks: libdrm-nouveau1
  Replaces: libdrm-nouveau1

  
  I'll confirm both the cause and the solution now.
