[Bug 1832077] Re: libneon27-dev builddep can not be installed in recipebuild

[Colin Watson]

This is a problem with libneon27 in Ubuntu bionic itself, not a problem
with Launchpad.  In a clean chroot:

(bionic-amd64)root at niejwein:~# apt install libneon27

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:
 libneon27 : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

In other words, somebody published the neon27 update for OpenSSL 1.1.1
without the corresponding OpenSSL 1.1.1 update that it depends on.

I guess this will be resolved once
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.1 is
published to bionic-updates, but I'm subscribing a couple of people
involved with the update anyway since this seems like a significant
process failure.
