Comment 17 for bug 2043027

First, thank you to Jeremy Bicha and Steve Langasek, and anyone else involved in bringing the update to mutter.

I've been trying for the past few days to install the update. I enabled -proposed, but every time I try to install the newer version of mutter (whether directly by the version name, or by "mantic-proposed", I get this message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mutter : Depends: mutter-common (>= 45.2-0ubuntu3) but 45.2-0ubuntu2~really45.0 is installed

The set of fixes does not include updating mutter-common; when I check versions in aptitude, it does not list that version. I've tried uninstalling both mutter and mutter-common, but when I go to reinstall, it all defaults back to the 45.2-0ubuntu2~really45.0 versions. While I do see 45.2-0ubuntu3 in the list of versions for mutter, mutter-common only lists the version I have installed.

All that said, I know that the seven-day window will soon pass, and maybe this will just become part of the regular updates; however, if this problem has prevented others from testing, my guess is that it will hold things up until there's been direct verification.

I realize this thread is not for support for this type of problem -- i.e., there may just be some command I'm not familiar with that would resolve this whole thing, and so there may be no larger issue at all other than my own lack of experience -- but I wanted to mention this in case it isn't just me. I would be happy to install and test the new package, but until either mutter-common is also updated, or I can find out what I'm doing wrong, I can't provide any more feedback.
