[Bug 1062503] Re: apt fails to install libglapi-mesa-lts-quantal correctly on switching x stacks

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.9.7.6ubuntu1

---------------
apt (0.9.7.6ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * merged from debian-sid

  [ Program translation updates ]
  * Catalan (Jordi Mallach)
  * Drop a confusing non-breaking space. Closes: #691024
  * Thai (Theppitak Karoonboonyanan). Closes: #691613

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc:
    - do not do lock-step configuration for a M-A:same package if it isn't
      unpacked yet in SmartConfigure and do not unpack a M-A:same package
      again in SmartUnPack if we have already configured it (LP: #1062503)

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * debian/apt.conf.autoremove: don't include linux-image*,
    linux-restricted-modules*, and linux-ubuntu-modules* packages in the
    list to never be autoremoved.
  * debian/apt.auto-removal.sh, debian/rules, debian/apt.dirs: install new
    script to /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ which ensures we only automatically
    keep the currently-running kernel, the being-installed kernel, and the
    newest kernel, so we don't fill /boot up with an unlimited number of
    kernels.  LP: #923876.

apt (0.9.7.6) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Program translation updates ]
  * Ukrainian (A. Bondarenko)

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc:
    - ensure that dependencies for packages:none are always generated
    - add 2 missing remap registrations causing a segfault in case
      we use the not remapped iterators after a move of the mmap again
    - write the native architecture as unique string into the cache header
      as it is used for arch:all packages as a map to arch:native.
      Otherwise arch comparisons later will see differences (Closes: #689323)
  * apt-pkg/pkgcache.cc:
    - ignore negative dependencies applying in the same group for M-A:same
      packages on the real package name as self-conflicts (Closes: #688863)
  * cmdline/apt-cache.cc:
    - print versioned dependency relations in (r)depends if the option
      APT::Cache::ShowVersion is true (default: false) as discussed in
      #218995 to help debian-cd fixing #687949. Thanks to Sam Lidder
      for initial patch and Steve McIntyre for nagging and testing!
  * apt-pkg/edsp.cc:
    - include reinstall requests and already installed (= protected) packages
      in the install-request for external resolvers (Closes: #689331)
  * apt-pkg/policy.cc:
    - match pins with(out) an architecture as we do on the commandline
      (partly fixing #687255, b= support has to wait for jessie)
  * apt-pkg/contrib/netrc.cc:
    - remove the 64 char limit for login/password in internal usage
    - remove 256 char line limit by using getline() (POSIX.1-2008)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc:
    - Fix crash if the cache is remapped while writing a Provides version
      (LP: #1066445).

Title:
  apt fails to install libglapi-mesa-lts-quantal correctly on switching
  x stacks

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “apt” source package in Precise:
  In Progress
Status in “apt” source package in Quantal:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I'm trying to get renaming x stacks between normal xorg and xorg from
  quantal working, and for that the I've renamed all the xorg packages
  with a conflicts/provides/replaces on the unrenamed packages.

  This works reasonably well but now switching between them fails if I
  have wine installed from ppa:~ubuntu-wine/ppa and ia32-libs installed.

  I'm switching by installing ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport , having
  xorg-server updated and libgl1-mesa-{glx,dri}{,:i386} installed and
  then installing with apt-get install xorg-server-lts-quantal
  libgl1-mesa-{glx,dri}-lts-quantal{,:i386}  for conflict resolution.

  However, halfway through it installs libglapi-mesa-lts-quantal:i386
  after removing libglapi-mesa for both archs, then proceeds to install
  libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal for both archs, but because libglapi-mesa-
  lts-quantal:amd64 is not installed dpkg fails and you're stuck with a
  broken installation.
