security apt source should include universe

[Colin Muller]

Upgrading libmagick6 6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.1 requires the removal of perlmagick.
perlmagick cannot be re-installed after this. No new version of perlmagick is
installed as part of libmagick6 6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.1. As a workaround, one can
force a downgrade back to libmagick6 6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1 and re-install perlmagick.

I don't really understand this:

  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/imagemagick/

has the updated package perlmagick_6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.1_i386.deb (for the other
platforms, too). Maybe you forgot to apt-get update or did only try to upgrade
libmagick6 without upgrading perlmagick?

[Colin Muller (colin-durbanet)]

Yes, I had used apt-get update (and Synaptic's Reload). However, thanks to your
pointer, I've worked out what is happening:

In Synaptic, had I selected all of the repositories shown. This resulted in an
/etc/apt/sources.list with these repositories in it:

deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 4.10 _Warty Warthog_ - Preview i386 Binary-1 (20041020)]/
unstable main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security main restricted

Now, this package updates libmagick6:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/warty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

However, perlmagick is updated in this package:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/warty-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz

Since Synaptic does not place "warty-security universe" into
/etc/apt/sources.list, the latter Package was not being fetched.
Adding these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list corrects the problem:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security universe

Adding "universe" to the warty-security lines already in the file should
presumably have the same effect.

Thanks for the help. Since universe is "unsupported", you might choose not to
consider this not a bug. If you do consider it a bug, I guess it becomes a
Synaptic configuration bug rather than a libmagick6 bug. If you would like me to
resubmit it as a Synaptic bug, let me know.

Well, I do consider it a bug, however not in Synaptic. The initial
/etc/apt/sources.list should just include the deb line for universe security.

Reassigning to the installer and to Colin, thanks in advance for doing this.

Ah yes, of course. I must stop getting up so early in the morning!

Thanks for sorting that; and thanks for your part in the project. Ubuntu gets so
many things so right.

Hm. For future reference, is it kosher for me to reopen bugs?

Bug 11046 was marked as a duplicate of this one, and this one was marked as
fixed, but I still can't install libsdl1.2-dev in Warty.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

See comment #2 in this bug for directions. If adding warty-security universe
lines to /etc/apt/sources.list doesn't help, then #4513 was incorrectly marked
as a duplicate of this bug.

[Jeramy Rutley (jrutley)]

My /etc/apt/sources.list contains these:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security main restricted universe
multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security main restricted
universe multiverse

so unless it makes a difference having it on separate lines or having multiverse
included, I'd say it's a different bug.

It works fine for me:

Since the output you showed in bug #11046 included references to broken
dependencies based on version numbers which changed in a security update, I'm
fairly certain you are experiencing the same bug. Perhaps you forgot to run
apt-get update after updating sources.list?

[Jeramy Rutley (jrutley)]

I assure you that I did an apt-get update first.

Bizarre. There are a whole bunch of packages that list the older (warty)
version as the latest. The warty-security one is there, but I had to do a Force
Version to get them to install...

Sounds like your apt configuration is broken. Try:
sudo mv /etc/apt/preferences /etc/apt/preferences.broken
apt-config dump | grep -i default-release # should be empty

[Jeramy Rutley (jrutley)]

(sigh)

Thank you. :)

I remember adding an Apt::DefaultRelease "Warty" to /etc/apt/apt.conf when I was
playing around with a mixed Hoary/Warty machine. Sorry for all the trouble, Matt.
