[Bug 2077685] Re: python3-apt_2.7.7ubuntu2 uninstallable on armhf

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Chris, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python-apt into noble-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-
apt/2.7.7ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: python-apt (Ubuntu Noble)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-noble

  python3-apt_2.7.7ubuntu2 uninstallable on armhf

Bug description:
  The python-apt 2.7.7ubuntu2 update has a versioned dependency on
  libapt-pkg6.0t64 (>= 2.8.1) (on armhf only). Presumably there's an
  armhf-only symbols difference resulting in the armhf package (and
  *only* the armhf package - none of i386, amd64, ppc64el, s390x, or
  riscv64 are affected) picking up this tighter dependency.

  The version of apt which could satisfy this is still in -proposed:
  ```
   apt | 2.7.14build2    | noble           | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
   apt | 2.8.2           | noble-proposed  | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
  ```
