Installer crashes installing libreoffice

[Skyler Dache]

[Impact]

* utopic -> vivid updates might be disrupted

[Test Case]

* Update from LibreOffice < 4.4.1 to a current version. Depends on package order however

[Regression Potential]

* extremely low: no code change, just modifying the already existing version of the Replaces: of libreoffice-core against libreoffice-common

Do you happen to have a backtrace?

[Skyler Dache (skyberskyman)]

I don't. I suppose I could try again and generate one, but I don't know
how.

Since submitting the bug report, I had realized I was trying to install
plasma5 + sddm on the same laptop 3 times, using beta software from Arch,
Fedora and Kubuntu. All of the installs failed at a similar point, so I
suspect it might be an issue with either sddm or the graphics drivers for
my laptop used by plasma 5.

Can anybody recreate this with the latest daily build? Thanks in advance.

All the duplicates are using Alpha images:

LP: #1443667 has 4 duplicates

So this is a missing Breaks/Replaces: in libreoffice, and ubiquity installed updates. This shoudln't affect the final images, only upgrades from intra-vivid, so I'm dropping the milestone.

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton)]

The fix for this bug has been awaiting testing feedback in the -proposed repository for vivid for more than 90 days. Please test this fix and update the bug appropriately with the results. In the event that the fix for this bug is still not verified 15 days from now, the package will be removed from the -proposed repository.

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

Lets drop this one without verification. As per comment #7 this only affect intra-vivid updates which should be ultra-rare by now (or in fact, ever since the package was in -proposed, which was 2 month after vivid release.
