Public bug reported: When installing libvirt-daemon-system (from https://launchpad.net/~canonical-server/+archive/ubuntu/server- backports) on a Focal system, one will see the following error:
# apt install libvirt-daemon-system Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree 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: libvirt-daemon-system : Depends: polkitd but it is not installable Depends: polkitd-pkla but it is not installable Recommends: dnsmasq-base Recommends: mdevctl but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. As discussed with Bryce, I believe polkit should be backported to Focal as well. ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Bryce Harrington (bryce) Status: Triaged ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058278 Title: [Backport] libvirt-daemon-system won't install on Focal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/2058278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
