[Bug 2054100] Re: Can't upgrade keyboard-configuration on Noble

[Marcos Alano]

Yes, I have proposed enabled. In the end I was able to upgrade in a not very clean method. I manually reinstalled the xkb-data package. And after that, I was able to execute a regular upgrade.
Here is the command you requested:
ubuntu at ubuntu2404:~$ apt policy xkb-data
xkb-data:
  Installed: 2.41-2
  Candidate: 2.41-2
  Version table:
 *** 2.41-2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-proposed/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.38-2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages

I don't know for sure. I never created a deb package from the ground, so
I don't know if you can answer my question if the comma instead of pipe
in the "Depends" section is the correctly option.

Title:
  Can't upgrade keyboard-configuration on Noble

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm testing Noble using multipass and I got this error when I try to upgrade the system:
  ubuntu at ubuntu2404:~$ sudo apt full-upgrade
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree... Done
  Reading state information... Done
  Calculating upgrade... Error!
  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   keyboard-configuration : Depends: xkb-data (< 2.38A) but 2.41-2 is to be installed
  E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

  I think because in the package "Depends" section the configuration is in this way:
  Depends: debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, liblocale-gettext-perl, xkb-data (>= 2.38~), xkb-data (<< 2.38A)

  So I think it should be a "|"(pipe) instead of "," (comma) when
  refering to xkb-data.

  The keyboard-configuration package version is 1.223ubuntu1.
