Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS: conflict between psmisc and Percona Server

[Gabriele]

Background:

I was investigating a repeated message that showed that 1 package was not upgraded after running the usual apt-get update / apt-get upgrade etc. commands.

Using aptitude I was able to find that the offending package was psmisc which was marked as broken. Percona uses psmisc as one of its dependencies.

This problem arose a couple of days ago after the latest upgrade of the Percona Server package using the own Percona repositories.

Can you, please, try to do apt-get update / apt-get upgrade now? I see no conflicts:

Hi,
the latest update of Percona fixed the issue.
Thanks for the follow up to my first report. :-)

Sorry for the delay with processing :)

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PS-3294
