[Bug 924499] [NEW] Lucid to Precise: libc6 must Conflicts and Provides libc6-i686 to satisfy ubuntu-minimum during dist-upgrade

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Public bug reported:

When upgrading from LTS to LTS+1, APT gets stuck in an unresolvable
loop, because ubuntu-minimal Depends on the obsolete libc6-i686. A
simple cure would be to make libc6 Conflicts and Provides libc6-i686.
