Verified with debdiff that all debs, in all archs, have no other
changes.
Every deb has changes to the Version: and versioned Depends: in other debs of
src:packagekit.
But _only_ packagekit:armhf has a versioned Depends: change in something else,
which is the expected 'libapt-pkg6.0t64' (from 2.8.2 to 2.7.14build2 now).
I agree with the aging exception considering there are no other changes,
and this is an incremental fix to something that has already aged in -proposed
and has been released to -updates.

Title:
packagekit noble update uninstallable on armhf, depends on libapt-
pkg6.0t64 (>= 2.8.2) from proposed
Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in packagekit source package in Noble:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
The noble packagekit update[1] to fix LP: #2086773 picked up those
dependencies on armhf due to t64 mangling changes in the C++ symbols,
and is now uninstallable:
ubuntu@n-armhf:~$ sudo apt install packagekit
Reading package lists... 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.
