[Bug 905454] Re: 'postgresql-plperl-8.4' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist

[Ken Tanzer]

I'm not sure why this was closed or marked invalid.  I am encountering
this same problem, also trying to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10.  In bug
961719, the same issue is reported attempting 11.10->12.04.

Any idea why this package (postgresql-plperl-8.4) is on the "removal
blacklist?"  Whatever exactly that means.  It's something you'd expect
with spam, not Free Software! ;)

I too was able to remove it manually, and the upgrade is currently
proceeding.  But I'd imagine some people will end up getting stuck or
frustrated by this, and unable to upgrade...

Title:
   'postgresql-plperl-8.4' is marked for removal but it is in the
  removal blacklist

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 11.04 when trying to 11.10 I got the following
  error. I have an run a pre-release version of Ubuntu, I'm not trying
  to upgrade to a pre-release version of Ubuntu. It's possible that I'm
  using non Ubuntu packages but nothing involving Postgresql or Perl.

  Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
  The package 'postgresql-plperl-8.4' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.

   This can be caused by:
   * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
   * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
   * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

  If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command
  'ubuntu-bug update-manager' in a terminal.
