[Bug 1241123] Re: lubuntu-desktop PostUpgradeRemove rule is unnecessary and problematic

[Brian Murray]

When testing the release upgrader (not from proposed) I saw the
following in my main.log:

2013-10-19 01:10:00,489 DEBUG Marking 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade
2013-10-19 01:10:00,576 WARNING Can't mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)
2013-10-19 01:10:00,576 DEBUG Marking 'lubuntu-desktop' for upgrade
2013-10-19 01:10:00,659 WARNING Can't mark 'lubuntu-desktop' for upgrade (E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.)
2013-10-19 01:10:00,770 DEBUG About to apply the following changes

However, the upgrade was going to proceed.  Testing the release upgrader
from proposed I observed the following:

2013-10-19 01:11:14,147 DEBUG Marking 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade
2013-10-19 01:11:14,147 DEBUG Marking 'lubuntu-desktop' for upgrade
2013-10-19 01:11:14,271 DEBUG About to apply the following changes

So I think the verification of this is done.

Title:
  lubuntu-desktop PostUpgradeRemove rule is unnecessary and problematic

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” source package in Saucy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users with both the ubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop metapackages installed are unable to upgrade to Saucy from Raring.

  [Test Case]
  1) install a Raring system with the ubuntu-desktop and the lubuntu-desktop metapackages
  2) Try to upgrade to Saucy via do-release-upgrade
  3) Observe an unresolvable problem message

  If you try upgrading use the dist-upgrader in -proposed by using do-
  release-upgrade -p or update-manager -p, you should be able to upgrade
  to Saucy.

  Kon de opwaardering niet berekenen

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

   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
