2021-06-17 09:24:13 Julian Andres Klode description I'm using the ubuntu-21.04-live-server-amd64 ISO to install my hirsute desktop machines so I can automate the installation. After installation, I'm trying to install the desktop via "apt install ubuntu-desktop". This fails with: "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 or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk : Depends: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core (= 1:21.04.11) but 1:21.04.10 is to be installed Depends: python3-distupgrade (= 1:21.04.11) but 1:21.04.10 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." "apt policy ubuntu-release-upgrader-core" shows: "ubuntu-release-upgrader-core: Installed: 1:21.04.10 Candidate: 1:21.04.10 Version table: 1:21.04.11 1 (phased 20%) 500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute-updates/main amd64 Packages *** 1:21.04.10 500 500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status" I could not find any information what "phased 20%" means. It's obviously a major problem not being able to install the desktop on a fresh installation. [Impact] Phased upgrades were only applied to already installed packages, so if we had a source package foo building foo-core and foo-extra, and foo-core=1 was installed, and we tried to install foo-extra, it would fail because it would try to install 0% foo-extra=2 while blocking foo-core as it's "not for us". [Test Plan] The autopkgtests ensure we don't regress and they kind of check this by checking the policy output to see that "foo-extra=2" above is also not the candidate, but foo-extra=1 is (so installing it alongside foo-core=1 would work fine) but they don't install it, so it might be nice to verify this too: Find a package that is phased, but not for us (maybe just setting the never-include-phased flag?), install one binary from it from the release pocket, and then try to install another from the updates pocket. At the moment, installing libsystemd-dev would trigger it. [Where problems could occur] This is a change in behavior when installing new packages that might cause regression in image building tools for example, if those don't use a chroot (chroots being detected). Apart from that risk, the change is just removing a flag check inside an if, so not much else.
