Applications revert on reboot

[Joshua Gilbert]

-Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10

I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 last night, the last thing I did before the update (installation wise) was to install progress quest and to uninstall wine
Rebooted system and upgraded without any problems, rebooted and progress quest is missing and wine is there.

Re-installed Progress quest, Un-installed wine carried on as normal, shut computer down, turned on 2-3 hours later, Progress quest is gone, Wine is back. Repeated install/uninstall process rebooted, same outcome.

No idea what could be causing this never had this problem before, wine was defiantly gone before update started and progress quest was running during the update process

I am not sure I fully understand what happened here. Anyway, Progress Quest depends on Wine. So uninstalling Wine should also uninstall Progress Quest, and installing Progress Quest should install Wine. Does this explain your experience?

[Joshua Gilbert (josh-gilbert06)]

Yes and no, at the moment if i install progress quest now, and reboot its not there, wine is there but progress quest disappears.
I've decided to do a clean install of ubuntu when 10.10 is properly released anyway so this can be closed, if it happens again after the reinstall I will open another bug report

Joshua,
can you confirm that you are still having this problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10?

[Ken Sharp (kennybobs)]

Wine is not causing this problem. It's probably a problem with the package manager, if it does indeed still exist.

Changing to pq for now as that is the affected package, it would seem.

[Ken Sharp (kennybobs)]

Is this still an issue?

[Toni Ruottu (toni-ruottu)]

I am confused. What should be tested? I do not have the specific system where the problem originally occurred. With a clean installation of the latest Ubuntu it is not a problem. Do you think it should be tested again by upgrading 10.04 to 10.10 with the latest patches to those releases? Or should we install 11.10 and test if we can reproduce the problem by upgrading it to 12.04?
