[Bug 924079] Re: do-release-upgrade fails to upgrade from Oneiric to Precise: Couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libncurses5, probably a dependency cycle

[Steve Langasek]

strictly speaking there is no change to be made in apt in precise to fix
this, but I've opened a task so that we can track this for 12.04.1.  One
way or another we ought to fix this by SRU to oneiric, I think.
