[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 659111] Re: Installing then removing Monodevelop reports "the package system is broken"

[Michael Vogt]

Thanks for your bugreport.

I can reproduce this issue, looks like a bug in the auto-remove code,
the terminal log says:

For the install:

Start-Date: 2011-09-19  17:31:28
Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-commit-packages' sender=':1.133'
Install: monodoc-base:amd64 (2.10.5-1, automatic), monodoc-manual:amd64 (2.10.5-1, automatic), monodevelop:amd64 (2.5.92+dfsg-2ubuntu1)
End-Date: 2011-09-19  17:31:38

And then the remove:
Start-Date: 2011-09-19  17:42:06
Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-remove-packages' sender=':1.133'
Install: monodoc-browser:amd64 (2.10-1, automatic), libwebkit1.1-cil:amd64 (0.3-3ubuntu3, automatic)
Remove: monodoc-base:amd64 (2.10.5-1), monodoc-manual:amd64 (2.10.5-1), monodevelop:amd64 (2.5.92+dfsg-2ubuntu1)
End-Date: 2011-09-19  17:43:16

And the error is:Removing monodevelop ...^M
dpkg: monodoc-manual: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:^M
 monodoc-browser depends on monodoc-manual.^M
Removing monodoc-manual ...^M
dpkg: monodoc-base: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:^M
 monodoc-browser depends on monodoc-base (>= 1.0).^M

Title:
  Installing then removing Monodevelop reports "the package system is
  broken"

Status in “monodevelop” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 10.10
  Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.22, monodevelop 2.5.92+dfsg-2ubuntu1, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1

  1. Install Monodevelop.
  2. Remove Monodevelop.

  What happens: Partway through the removal, a dialog appears, "The
  package system is broken".

  Previously the details mentioned "monodoc-browser". I purged it and
  ran sudo apt-get install -f. Everything seems fine but software-center
  insists that the package system is broken.
