release upgrade to Kubuntu Intrepid removes adept

[Martin von Gagern]

Binary package hint: adept

When I updated from Hardy to Intrepid Alpha 6 using "do-release-upgrade -d", adept got removed in the process. apt.log said: "Package adept has broken dep on adept-common". No problem for me, as I could reinstall it on the command line, but users used to graphical tools might be in trouble without their package manager.

I had discussed this on IRC: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/09/22/%23ubuntu+1.html
I had the impression that mvo would further investigate the issue. Perhaps the fix for bug 274706 was an attempt at this, I'm not sure.

The problem seems not solved, though, as HappySmileMan just reported the same thing on IRC just now for Beta: "adept says it will remove adept". See http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/10/03/%23ubuntu+1.html

Thanks for your bugreport.

This should be fixed in the current update-manager, adept will be upgraded, but some of the previous ones (adept-common) will be removed because it just builds one binary nowdays.

If this is still a issue, please let me know.
