Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: packagekit : Depends: libapt-pkg6.0t64 (>= 2.8.2) but 2.7.14build2 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. The planned fix is to remove apt 2.8.2 from noble-proposed (done), rebuild packagekit (this bug), and release that. 1. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/1.2.8-2ubuntu1 [ Test Plan ] On a noble armhf system, install packagekit from noble-proposed. It must not pull in other non-packagekit packages from noble-proposed. In addition to that, the noble excuses report[2] should be clean of errors and show no interdependencies preventing the release of packagekit. 2. https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/proposed-migration/noble/update_excuses.html#packagekit [ Where problems could occur ] This is a no-change rebuild. Like all SRUs, it's always built with the proposed pocket enabled, but this time the newer apt 2.8.2 is not there, so that dependency will not be picked up. That being said, the risk is the same that an unintended dependency from noble-proposed will be picked up, but the test plan specifically checks for that. [ Other Info ] This is fixing a regression introduced by the release of https://launchpad.net/bugs/2086773 to updates, where even though it was noticed that the excuses page was flagging packagekit to be depending on apt from proposed, it was incorrectly deemed irrelevant by me (@ahasenack) at the time.
