There seems to be a problem with binary packages cleanups mechanism.
Both PPAs and main archive are affected.
Till now I've found only two examples but I am afraid the issue is wide spread.
Example#1 (Main archive):
------------
Package: dcmtk
Source: 3.6.1~20150924-4
Binaries: 3.6.1~20150924-5 and 3.6.0-15.1
Result: aeskulap FTBFS since they both provide libdcmtk2-dev and the older one is incompatible. As result the package was mistakenly removed from archive while it is perfectly fine.
Example#2 (PPA):
------------
Package: xf86-input-cmt (https://launchpad.net/~eugenesan/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+sourcepub/6039767/+listing-archive-extra)
Source: 2.0.6-13ubuntu2~eugenesan~xenial4
Binaries: 2.0.6-13ubuntu2~eugenesan~xenial4 and 2.0.6-13ubuntu2~eugenesan~trusty3
Result: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-vivid is available in the archive while no longer provided by latest source. |
There seems to be a problem with binary packages indexing/cleanup mechanism.
All Trust and Xenial are affected and probably the rest of releases.
The issue is correct for both main archive and PPAs.
