[Bug 1027970] Re: package libudev0 175-0ubuntu9.1 failed to install/upgrade: libudev0:amd64 175-0ubuntu9.1 cannot be configured because libudev0

[Martin Pitt]

What does "apt-cache policy libudev0:amd64 libudev0:i386" show? They
should both show the same available version.

Anyway, Ubuntu never supported smart as a package manager, and it has
never been tested with multiarch. I think Landscape moved from smart to
apt a while ago, are you using the latest client?

To fix this for you, perhaps you can try "sudo apt-get purge --auto-
remove libudev0:i386" and verify that this doesn't remove i386 packages
you deeply care about. If it does, you can re-install them after the
upgrade and apt-get install -f?

I'm closing the bug as this is not a bug in udev. We can continue
discussing how to fix your system here, of course.

Bug description:
  This computer is managed by Landscape. Unfortunatly Landscape causes a huge amount of broken packages because of smartpm installing the wrong architecture on multiarch machines which cause this type of package discrepancy.
  even an apt-get install -f doesn't fix it.

  Here were the steps to reproduce the error:
  Use Landscape to manage the packages
  User gets prompted for upgrades from upgrade manager sometimes and performs those upgrades as well
  sudo smart update
  sudo smart upgrade

  aptitude was so much better at keeping packages from breaking.
