[Bug 940396] Re: lucid -> precise main all failed to upgrade: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kde-runtime

[Michael Vogt]

Some more thoughts on this. The log shows that the following is
happening:

1. kde-runtime is unpacked at line 2454, at this point libsmbclient is unchanged so its not unpacked nor configured (as this is not required by the kde-runtime dependencies)
2. libsmbclient is unpacked in line 2504 but its not configured (yet)
3. kde-runtime is looked at again in line 2548 but because its already configured its skipped
4. libsmbclient is finally configured in line 2654 (when its too late)

So it seems like the bug either in
 (3) that he dependencies are not checked if they are all ok
 (2) when libsmbclient is unpacked (but not configured) it needs to RmFlag() its rdependences configured flag

Thoughts?
