Bug#669278: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'phonon-backend-vlc'.



Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

there are several piuparts squeeze->wheezy upgrade tests failing with

  E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'phonon-backend-vlc'.
  Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details.  (2)

see the following list:
http://piuparts.debian.org/squeeze2wheezy/unknown_failures.html

All these packages install fine in wheezy.

I tried to minimize one of these failures to a smaller package set and
came up with

  libqt4-qt3support
  libakonadi-kde4
  libsmokeqt4-dev

Receipe for reproduction:

* setup minimal squeeze chroot (do not install recommends)
* apt-get install libqt4-qt3support libakonadi-kde4 libsmokeqt4-dev
  (again without recommends)
* switch sources.list to wheezy
* apt-get dist-upgrade

A full piuparts log is attached.

I'm assigning this bug to apt/squeeze in the hope that the apt
developers may debug this (probably a dependecy hell during the upgrade)
and have an idea how the involved packages can be changed (in wheezy)
so that this upgrade issue is prevented - in order to allow smooth
upgrades from squeeze using squeeze's toolchain.
Please reassign to a package that can be fixed.
(There is a similar bug (#645713) involving gnome and the recommendation
was to drop one Breaks.)

Andreas
