Thanks for your bug. That's not a bug but a feature, evolution-data-server Breaks evolution (<< 2.9) and evolution-exchange (<= 2.8.1-0ubuntu1) so it'll refuse to be installed before they can be upgraded

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Changed package its on to APT.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

reason i changed it was sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will not let you do upgrades as long as evolution feature is in place as it stands at this moment user will have to use aptitude to work around this.

apt-get upgrade works; I suggest that as a workaround.

But it is true that dist-upgrade doesn't at the moment and this is bad. It should hold back the Breaking package rather than give up. I will look into this.

[Ian Jackson (ijackson)]

This should be fixed in apt 0.6.46.3ubuntu2. Sorry about this problem, which should have been spotted in my earlier testing except that I foolishly assumed that if I hadn't broken "upgrade" worked I wouldn't have broken "dist-upgrade".

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This is not fixed. i have apt Installed: 0.6.46.4ubuntu1
and apt-utils Installed: 0.6.46.4ubuntu1

here is the output im getting when doing dist-upgrade:

This is thinking that the fix should have placed these packages in held back.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Apt version 0.6.46.4ubuntu2 has fixed this problem thank you michael for the fast fix on this.

[chantra (chantra)]

at the time of writing, not all mirrors where synced, but using archive.ubuntu.com I could install apt 0.6.46.4ubuntu2.

so to sort it out, i triggered:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall apt

and then update-manager did not close anymore

This is happening with dist-upgrade again here is the error:

apt-get upgrade seems to hold the packages back with some other libs.

[Marco Paulo Martins Sousa (marcomsousa)]

I resolve this problem, doing this:

sudo apt-get remove evolution # this remove ubuntu-desktop but don't worry
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And tomorow i will do

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

i worked around it when i reopened the bug but it still needs to be filed so it can be fixed :)

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Michael the packages were let through this am so i cant reproduce this atm but I would still like to see this fixed if possible.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Marking bug 77003 as a dup.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

The update-manager fix is in my bzr tree now and will be part of the next upload.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This has been fixed thank you.
