Needs to be ported to packagekit 1

[errors.ubuntu.com bug bridge]

The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding aptdaemon. This problem was most recently seen with version 1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu8, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/0cbdb94861b90a2bf18c183fb3031ed81f6bb5a7 contains more details.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue is likely there with newer packagekit, there was a newer/incompatible version in wily-proposed for a while (it got deleted since)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package aptdaemon - 1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu10

---------------
aptdaemon (1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu10) wily; urgency=medium

  * debian/control: let python(3)-aptdaemon Depends on
      gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0 (<< 0.9) (restrict the version because
      0.9 is incompatible, also that version was uploaded to
      wily-proposed and deleted but some users got it installed, that
      way apt knows there is a conflict to resolve) (lp: #1496292)
  * debian/patches/key_value_typo.patch:
    - remove trailing "," causing a TypeError, thanks Justin McPherson

I think there is just some stale data in the code:

There is one more reference where removed pk enums are used, attached is the patch.

Yakkety (proposed) now has been updated to packagekit 1.1.1-1ubuntu1
But there are some conflicts when trying to upgrade:

 sudo apt-get install gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0
[sudo] password for oem:

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

FWIW, just making Aptdaemon stop to pretend to be PackageKit and then adjust the dependent packages to not require the compat layer explicitly should also do the job.
(we did that at Debian, and right now, only one package still explicitly depends on Aptd (but that one is using Aptd-specific API)

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

I thought the plan would be to drop aptdaemon completely and port everything else to use packagekit. Debian already removed aptdaemon from unstable.

[dino99 (9d9)]

aptdaemon (1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu15) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/drop_pkcompat.patch: don't call on pkcompat's PackageKit
    implementation. Instead, expect PackageKit to be DBus-activated so we can
    work correctly with PackageKit 1.1.1. (LP: #1496292)
  * debian/patches/pk1.1.1-compat.patch: remove API that is no longer there
    in PackageKit 1.1.1: GET_DEPENDS and GET_REQUIRES.
  * debian/control:
    - drop python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat binary package.
    - aptdaemon Breaks/Replaces python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat for transition.
    - Depends on gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0 (>= 1.1.1) now, to enforce using
      PackageKit 1.1; which drops GET_DEPENDS and GET_REQUIRES.

but system-config-printer is told to be removed due to python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat

[dino99 (9d9)]

Python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat nedds to be manually purged, accept system-config-printer to be purged too (for that first step).
Then aptdaemon* packages can be upgraded. Finally system-config-printer can be reinstalled (with some new dependencies).

The packages conflicts reported into comment #6 are now gone on yakkety.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu15 in yakkety-proposed says that it fixes this issue. However, it won't promote as long as this bug has "block-proposed", do we still need this even after this fix?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I think it should be fine to unblock...

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

The only remaining unknown is whether the new packagekit might break click, snap or other such other software provider.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the click backend is going to stop working but that was an understood and accepted regression, the touch team doesn't plan to base device on yakkety and was fine with that

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

According to the proposed-updates Britney report, aptd and PK are still blocked (contact #ubuntu-release when update is needed).

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Obviously I don't mean proposed-updates, but proposed for Yakkety.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the archive is frozen for alpha1 this week, otherwise there are some packages that need to be rebuilt to pick the packagekit soname which I planned to look at this week

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

(well if anybody wants to work on that please do, I just noticed and I'm going to try a look tomorrow if that's still required)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I've uploaded a few but somebody is going to have to upload click to drop the packagekit backend binary ... Ted do you think you could get that one done?

[Jeremy Bicha (jbicha)]

All of packagekit's rdepends that depended on the old soname have been rebuilt except packagekit-plugin-click. But to remove it, you'll also need to update its rdepends:

$ reverse-depends packagekit-plugin-click
Reverse-Depends
===============
* ubuntu-touch [amd64 arm64 armhf i386]
* unity8-desktop-session

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

This bug blocks the installation of the lubuntu-qt-desktop package, and we would like to have LXQt images spun up soon, so this is a high priority bug for the Lubuntu team.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Decision was made yesterday: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2016/08/08/%23ubuntu-release.html#t16:15

And now we can drop the packagekit-plugin-click which was the remaining blocker.

There is a silo for this at https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1775

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

This in yakkety-proposed now, removing another blocker for transitions.

Remaining known blocker is WebP transition if you want to help: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/html/auto-libwebp.html
