[Bug 940396] Re: lucid -> precise main all failed to upgrade: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kde-runtime

[Michael Vogt]

In a log with Debug::pkgPackageManager=1 I can see:

around lines 1576:
  SmartConfigure plasma-dataengines-workspace (4:4.8.0b-0ubuntu6)^M^M
    SmartConfigure kdepim-runtime (4:4.8.0a-0ubuntu2)^M^M
    Unpacking kde-runtime to avoid loop^M^M
      SmartUnPack kde-runtime (install version 4:4.8.0-0ubuntu1)^M^M
        Unpacking kdebase-runtime to avoid break^M^M
        SmartUnPack kdebase-runtime (replace version 4:4.4.5-0ubuntu1.1 with 4:4.8.0-0ubuntu1)^M^M
        Unpacking plasma-scriptengine-javascript to avoid break^M^M
        SmartUnPack plasma-scriptengine-javascript (replace version 4:4.4.5-0ubuntu1.1 with 4:4.8.0-0ubuntu1)^M^M
        SmartConfigure kde-runtime (4:4.8.0-0ubuntu1)^M^M
        Unpacking libattica0.3 to avoid loop^M^M
...
but quite a bit later (l 1707):
                PreDepends order for libkrb5-3^M^M
                  Unpacking libsmbclient to avoid break^M^M
                  SmartUnPack libsmbclient (replace version 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.8 with 2:3.6.3-1ubuntu1)^M^M
                  PreDepends order for libsmbclient^M^M
                  SmartConfigure libkrb5-3 (1.10+dfsg~beta1-2)^M^M
and then in l 2631:
  SmartConfigure libsmbclient (2:3.6.3-1ubuntu1)^M^M

So it appears that the first "SmartConfigure" for kde-runtime misses the smbclient requirement most likely because
at the point it was run the package did not need anything. But then the later libkrb5-3 pre-depends caused smbclient
to get unpacked at a bad time.
