[Bug 892629] Re: package python-gobject 3.0.0-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

[Martin Pitt]

This fails because of a long dependency chain, all of those packages
cannot be installed: python-gobject -> libglib2.0-0 ->  libselinux1 ->
libmount1/libblkid1 ->  libuuid1 -> passwd.  Apparently there is a
circular dependency between libselinux1 and passwd. IMHO libuuid1 must
not depend on passwd, that seems wrong.

** Package changed: pygobject (Ubuntu) => util-linux (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- package python-gobject 3.0.0-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
+ circular dependency between libuuid1 and passwd breaks upgrades
