Bug#698775: nautilus: apt does not find a clean upgrade path for nautilus-share from lenny to squeeze

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.30.1-2squeeze1
Severity: important
Tags: patch squeeze
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + nautilus-share

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'lenny'.
It installed fine in 'lenny', then the upgrade to 'squeeze' fails.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...)
(with apt problemresolver debug output):

 ERROR: Command failed (status=100): ['chroot', '/tmp/piupartss/tmpNxfsMu', 'apt-get', '-yf', 'dist-upgrade']

  Done
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    libnautilus-extension1: Breaks: nautilus-share (< 0.7.2-4+b1) but 0.7.1-2+b1 is to be installed
  E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.


A possible workaround for this bug (which is actually a bug in lenny's
apt) is to add
  Breaks: samba-common (<< 2:3.5)
to libnautilus-extension1. libnautilus-extension1 seems to have a
sufficiently high score so apt will honour the Breaks and won't consider
holding it back for some obscure reason, opening the way to upgrade
nautilus-share properly.


cheers,

Andreas
