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

[Steve Langasek]

Martin, if you think it's necessary to pull this back into universe, I
can do the NEW review for it.  Assigning this bug to you for the upload.

Alternatively I would think admins should just be advised to dump their
databases before upgrade and deal with reimporting them afterwards.

In both cases, it makes sense to leave the blacklist in place so that
the package is not removed unintentionally as part of the upgrade.

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

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

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  1. Install Oneiric and apply updates
  2. Install the following packages:
    postgresql-8.4
    postgresql-plperl-8.4
  3. Upgrade to Precise

  ACTUAL RESULT
  Upgrade fails with 
  The package 'postgresql-plperl-8.4' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.

  ORIGINAL 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.
