[Bug 2091714] Please test proposed package

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted packagekit into noble-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/1.2.8-2ubuntu1.1 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.

Title:
  packagekit noble update uninstallable on armhf, depends on libapt-
  pkg6.0t64 (>= 2.8.2) from proposed

Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in packagekit source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The noble packagekit update[1] to fix LP: #2086773 picked up those
  dependencies on armhf due to t64 mangling changes in the C++ symbols,
  and is now uninstallable:

  ubuntu at n-armhf:~$ sudo apt install packagekit                                                  
  Reading package lists... Done                                                                  
  Building dependency tree... Done                                                               
  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:                                                
   packagekit : Depends: libapt-pkg6.0t64 (>= 2.8.2) but 2.7.14build2 is to be installed         
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.                     

  The planned fix is to remove apt 2.8.2 from noble-proposed (done),
  rebuild packagekit (this bug), and release that.

  [ Test Plan ]

  On a noble armhf system, install packagekit from noble-proposed. It
  must not pull in other non-packagekit packages from noble-proposed.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  This is a no-change rebuild. Like all SRUs, it's always built with the
  proposed pocket enabled, but this time the newer apt 2.8.2 is not
  there, so that dependency will not be picked up. That being said, the
  risk is the same that an unintended dependency from noble-proposed
  will be picked up, but the test plan specifically checks for that.

  [ Other Info ]

  This is fixing a regression introduced by the release of
  https://launchpad.net/bugs/2086773 to updates, where even though it
  was noticed that the excuses page was flagging packagekit to be
  depending on apt from proposed, it was incorrectly deemed irrelevant
  by me (@ahasenack) at the time.
