error upgrading landscape-sysinfo package

[David Britton]

== What I was trying to do ==

Upgrade landscape-client from:

17.02~bzr970-0ubuntu0~ubuntu16.04.1

to

the lds-trunk version:

17.04+bzr1002~bzr1029-0ubuntu0~ubuntu16.04.1

on xenial

Keep in mind I might have unreleased packages and stuff, since I have done a lot of landscape-development. I'll try doing this on a cleaner system and getting back to you.

== What I expected to happen ==

The upgrade to go smoothly.

== What Happened ==
