[Bug 1765646] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 - issue with badtar package installation

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

Looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libarchive it seems that
3.1.2-11build1 was the original version available, but that
3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3 has been pushed as an update. It might be that
the package you attempt to install is still pointing to the older
version. This can occur if you have just recently installed your system
or a package mirror is temporarily out of sync. Could you please try
running `sudo apt update` to update the package lists and see if the
issue persists?

** Package changed: vagrant (Ubuntu) => libarchive (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: libarchive (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Tags added: unmetdeps xenial

** Summary changed:

- Ubuntu 16.04 - issue with badtar package installation
+ Ubuntu 16.04 - issue with bsdtar package installation

Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04 - issue with bsdtar package installation

Status in libarchive package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  apt install bsdtar fails with dependency issue on 16.04:

  
  root at czz17163-laptop:~/scripts# apt-get install bsdtar
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   bsdtar : Depends: libarchive13 (= 3.1.2-11build1) but 3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3 is to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  
  Solution:

  Include in repository the bsdtar package from https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/bsdtar/download
  (wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libarchive/bsdtar_3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb )
  which works with libarchive13 in version 3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3 which is included in U16.04
