apache2-mpm-worker-dbgsym is uninstallable

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

This is in a freshly created raring lxc with ddebs enabled and apache2-mpm-worker installed:

root@apache2test:~# apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker-dbgsym=2.2.22-6ubuntu5

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 apache2-mpm-worker-dbgsym : Depends: apache2-dbg (= 2.2.22-6ubuntu5) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I looked a bit at debian/rules (in which I can see that apache2-dbg is carefully not built on ubuntu) and pkg_create_dbgsym and got a headache.

That's due to

override_dh_builddeb:
        if [ "$(LSB_RELEASE)" = "Ubuntu" ]; then \
                rm -rf debian/apache2-dbg; \
                sed -i '/apache2-dbg/d' debian/files; \
                dh_builddeb -Napache2-dbg; \
        else \
                dh_builddeb; \
        fi

This needs to be dropped now with current pkg-create-dbgsym.

Whoops, my upload was rejected as there is 2.4.4-6ubuntu2 already sitting (and stuck) in -proposed. I'm afraid I have to re-upload that after the apache 2.4 migration was done.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Ah, the version in -proposed already drops the Ubuntu specific -dbg handling, so it'll be fixed once it lands.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

2.4.4-6ubuntu5 finally landed in saucy.
