[Bug 1637466] Re: do-release-upgrade removed system-config-printer-gnome during 16.04 -> 16.10 upgrade

[Brian Murray]

I was able to recreate this by taking a stock Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.1
install and starting the upgrade to 16.10, viewing the details of the
upgrade I see that system-config-printer-gnome will be removed.

Title:
  do-release-upgrade removed system-config-printer-gnome during 16.04 ->
  16.10 upgrade

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've a freshly-installed Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 LTS system that I
  upgraded to 16.10 using 'sudo do-release-upgrade' in a terminal[*].
  The upgrade process removed system-config-printer-gnome, which I've
  discovered today, when my attempts to configure a new printer failed
  with an unhelpful error message.

  /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log (and I hope ubuntu-bug will attach it to
  this bug) indicates that system-config-printer-gnome was removed
  because (the old version of) it depended on packagekit-system-
  interface, which is not in yakkety.

  [*] because six months earlier when I used the GUI update-manager to
  upgrade an Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 system to 16.04 LTS I had a lot of pain
  related to the GUI bits (the screensaver-won't-unlock-post-gnome-
  shell-upgrade bug, and the update-manager-UI-freezes-on-ctrl-shift-I
  bug).
