Hey Sam, > At a level deeper than "it causes apt to work correctly," why is adding replaces a reasonable fix?
It indeed does not actually replace any files. This is purely to nudge apt into doing the upgrade to libkadm5srv-mit9, as otherwise the Breaks causes it to hold back half of the stack and remove krb5-multidev. So yes, the "missing Replaces" was perhaps misleading. We'll drop that change after trusty's release again, so it's only a temporary delta. Do you see a better way to do that? This is the least intrusive and "not particularly wrong" change that I saw to fix this. ** Changed in: krb5 (Ubuntu Trusty) Assignee: (unassigned) => Martin Pitt (pitti) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to krb5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304403 Title: Precise to Trusty - all of main - fails: Broken transition from libkadm5srv-mit8 to libkadm5srv-mit9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/1304403/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
