2016-10-17 19:32:28 Clive Johnston description Xenial 16.04.1 plasma-discover (5.6.2-1ubuntu1) Previously in wily muon-updater depended on ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt, meaning this was installed by default. In Xenial muon-updater became a transitional dummy package for plasma-discover-updater, and this dependency was not carried over, resulting in ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt not being installed by default and a GUI release upgrade to Yakkety 16.10 failing silently to the user after the 'Upgrade' button in software upgrades is clicked. The bug is initially filed against plasma-discover, however it may be more appropriate to update dependencies of another package instead. [Impact] * Current users running Xenial will be unable to upgrade to Yakkety, due to missing package. The button to update basically does nothing. * To allow users to upgrade to * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an explanation of how the upload fixes this bug. [Test Case] * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem. [Regression Potential] * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result of this change. * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the event of a regression. * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered, and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU. [Other Info] * Anything else you think is useful to include * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board * and address these questions in advance Xenial 16.04.1 plasma-discover (5.6.2-1ubuntu1) Previously in wily muon-updater depended on ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt, meaning this was installed by default.

[Regression Potential] * This is the installation a missing package via an updated dependency, which is only used during release upgrades.
