** Description changed: + [Impact] + Phased upgrades were only applied to already installed packages, so if we had a source package foo building foo-core and foo-extra, and foo-core=1 was installed, and we tried to install foo-extra, it would fail because it would try to install 0% foo-extra=2 while blocking foo-core as it's "not for us". + + [Test Plan] + The autopkgtests ensure we don't regress and they kind of check this by checking the policy output to see that "foo-extra=2" above is also not the candidate, but foo-extra=1 is (so installing it alongside foo-core=1 would work fine) but they don't install it, so it might be nice to verify this too: + + Find a package that is phased, but not for us (maybe just setting the + never-include-phased flag?), install one binary from it from the release + pocket, and then try to install another from the updates pocket. + + At the moment, installing libsystemd-dev would trigger it. + + [Where problems could occur] + This is a change in behavior when installing new packages that might cause regression in image building tools for example, if those don't use a chroot (chroots being detected). + + Apart from that risk, the change is just removing a flag check inside an + if, so not much else. + + [Original bug report] + I'm using the ubuntu-21.04-live-server-amd64 ISO to install my hirsute desktop machines so I can automate the installation. After installation, I'm trying to install the desktop via "apt install ubuntu-desktop". This fails with: "Some packages could not be installed.
