[Bug 927993] Re: ordering code may mark a package for configure before its unpacked

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu6

---------------
apt (0.8.16~exp12ubuntu6) precise; urgency=low

  * cherry pick from
    http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/bzr/apt/apt/debian-experimental2/:
    * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc:
      - fix bug in predepends handling - ensure that packages that needs
        unpackaging are unpacked before they are configured (LP: #927993)
    * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc:
      - do not try to a void a breaks if the broken package pre-depends
        on the breaker, but let dpkg auto-deconfigure it
    * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc:
      - recheck all dependencies if we changed a package in SmartConfigure
        as this could break an earlier dependency (LP: #940396)
    * recheck dependencies in SmartUnpack after a change, too
    * add Debug::pkgAcqArchive::NoQueue to disable package downloading
