Public bug reported: Anyone that tries to install Kubuntu-meta, or from Kubuntu tries to install Ubuntu-desktop, will hit conflicts with accounts-sso providers in /usr/share/accounts/providers (and possibly in service files in the future). As a result, many automatic bugs are being generated on both packages relating to this conflict in both directions, below are the most popular ones for each:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/account-plugins/+bug/1539988 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kaccounts-providers/+bug/1489507 kaccounts-providers is imported from Debian directly without repackaging and Debian does not package the Ubuntu account-plugins anywhere. Upstream KDE is being forced to break accounts-sso standards and impose systemwide envvars to work around that this package should conflict with KDE's: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347219 Either Ubuntu / Kubuntu should be amending the Debian package to make it conflict with these plugin packages when importing it, or the psmteam should make this package conflict with kaccounts-providers. The later would be less work, since account-plugins is only packaged in Ubuntu for Unity. This change is necessary in Wily and beyond since those are the releases shipping kaccounts-providers. ** Affects: account-plugins (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Make this metapackage conflict with kaccounts-plugins + Make this metapackage conflict with kaccounts-providers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540135 Title: Make this metapackage conflict with kaccounts-providers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/account-plugins/+bug/1540135/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
