[Bug 1516082] [NEW] Installing CouchDB 1.6.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 - problem with erlang-abi-15.b

[jimbojw]

Public bug reported:

System: Ubuntu version 14.04 on AMD-64

Steps to reproduce: $ sudo apt-get install couchdb

Expected: CouchDB version 1.6.1 installed.

Actual: Blocked because couchdb-bin can't find the virtual package
erlang-abi-15.b.

Cause: The latest version of erlang-base (1:18.1) does not provide
erlang-abi-15.b, on which couchdb-bin depends.

Workaround: Downgrade erlang-base to 1:17.4 by using aptitude and
rejecting its first suggestion.
