Bug Description

Trusty with 3.13

The latest cgroup-lite package was added to the backports repo and on installation I get the following error message:

hostname:~$ apt-cache policy cgroup-lite
cgroup-lite:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.11~ubuntu14.04.1
  Version table:

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:
 checkbox-ng-service : Depends: checkbox-ng (= 0.3-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Not sure what is causing this, the 1.9 package works just fine - it's reproducible on many of systems, so it seems like a package bug

Looks like it's because we have the systemd-shim package installed and it was added to the control file in the breaks field.

 cgroup-lite breaks systemd-shim (<< 9-1bzr4ubuntu1)
  systemd-shim (version 6-2bzr1) is present and installed.

We're still using upstart, so I'm questioning why this package is installed, but eventually I'm sure we'll move to systemd and will still need the cgroup-lite package no?

I don't think that Breaks was intended to hit trusty.
