Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upstart
apparmor-2.3+1289-0ubuntu14 (from Jaunty) depends on upstart-compat-sysv (>= 0.3.9-6). The new upstart 0.6 packages Provide upstart-compat-sysv, but sadly virtual packages can't satisfy versioned dependencies (see <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch- relationships.html#s-virtual>). From what I can tell, empty transitional packages appear to be the accepted method for renaming/eliminating packages without breaking existing dependent packages. A transitional package would allow Jaunty's apparmor dependencies to be satisfied. I understand that the version of apparmor in Karmic doesn't depend on upstart-compat-sysv, but converting upstart-compat-sysv from a virtual package to an empty real package will make it possible to backport upstart 0.6 to Jaunty (plus it conforms to the guidelines in <http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#s5.9.3>). ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- upstart-compat-sysv should be a transitional package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432234 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
