It looks like a transition issue to me. In aptitude, the package is indeed in the "Obsolete" section. Having a look at the package description in aptitude, the "Versions" section reads:
--\ Versions of python-zopeinterface (2) i 3.4.0-0ubuntu3 p python-zope.interface 3.5.2-1 So the new version is listed, but its name is different from the old one. The obsolete package name is "python-zopeinterface" while the new one is "python-zope.interface". I should add that the manual selection of the new package does not raise any issue like breaking dependencies and allows a manually forced transition. Would a meta-package be of any help to make the transition automatic? Apropos meta-package, the changelog of 3.5.1-2 mentions the "removal of python-zopeinterface metapackage as it is not needed". Is this the culprit? -- python-zopeinterface removed from Karmic repos still has lots of dependants https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
