Bug Description
My natty -> oneiric upgrade failed, with the following output:
http://
I whined on IRC, and slangasek told me:
<slangasek> Broken libindicator6:i386 Breaks on libindicator3 [ i386 ] < 0.3.22-0ubuntu1 -> 0.3.22-0ubuntu2 > ( universe/libs ) (<= 0.3.93-0ubuntu1)
<slangasek> Considering libindicator3:i386 10 as a solution to libindicator6:i386 5
<slangasek> Holding Back libindicator6:i386 rather than change libindicator3:i386
<slangasek> that's not good
<slangasek> libindicator6 should drop the Breaks: libindicator[123], there are no file overlaps
And I don't disbelieve him.

This bug was fixed in the package libindicator - 0.3.93-0ubuntu2
---------------
libindicator (0.3.93-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low
* Drop the Breaks: against old versions of libindicator and libindicator3;
there are no file conflicts between the libraries, so this doesn't
accurately reflect the package relationships but does make it harder to
calculate upgrades from natty. LP: #839098.
