Title:
unity held back if ubuntu-desktop is not installed during upgrade from
raring to saucy (upgrade fails)
Status in libunity:
Fix Released
Status in libunity package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in libunity source package in Saucy:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[SRU justification]
Users who have unity installed but not the ubuntu-desktop task will not be
able to upgrade using ubuntu-release-upgrader; and those who upgrade using apt
will have the unity desktop removed. We want users to get a correct upgrade
from raring to saucy.
[Test case]
1. On a minimal installation of Ubuntu Raring install unity (without
ubuntu-desktop)
2. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to saucy.
3. Run: apt-get dist-upgrade
4. Observe that unity is marked for removal.
5. Enable saucy-proposed.
6. Run: apt-get dist-upgrade
7. Observe that unity is now marked for upgrade instead of removal.
8. Run the dist-upgrade tests in jenkins and confirm that they still work.
[Regression potential]
Minimal: we are adding an additional Breaks: against a package not shipping
in saucy that is meant to be removed on upgrade. While this could permute
apt's upgrade calculation in unexpected ways, this is unlikely.
ACTUAL RESULT:
The system cannot upgrade because unity is removed due to the following
resolution:
