Hello Maarten, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.6 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

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

Status in “apt” source package in Quantal:

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.
