Bug Description

In the past few days, some update in the gnome3 ppa has completely broken dependencies. I suspect it may be this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1186506

To reproduce:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Here is what my system reports:

I seem to be suffering from the same problem, so here's what apt-cache policy says on my system:

For those concerned: the bug is not yet understood but I was able to come back to a clean state, here is what I did:

1. Purge the GNOME3 PPA:
  sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
  (note it failed initially, I had to re-add it with "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3" and re-launch the ppa-purge)

1.1. a few "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix things

2. Install stock ubuntu-gnome:
  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

3. Re-add the PPA and upgrade (NO dist-upgrade):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

4. Manually install libpango, which for me did uninstall conflicting :i386 packages:
  sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-0

5. Re-try the upgrade, for me it just asked to remove libmutter0a (which is ok to remove), and finished the upgrade:
  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I think [jbicha, ricotz, bjsnider] are currently suspecting a few packages using i386 libs, and are investigating. Props to to them for the help on IRC. You can help by mentioning if you have Skype, Steam, Teamviewer.

<jbicha> the purge shouldn't be necessary, you just need to force install libpango-1.0-0

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:
 gnome-shell : Depends: gnome-icon-theme-full but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: gdm (>= 3.5.90) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: evolution-data-server but it is not going to be installed
               Recommends: gnome-contacts but it is not going to be installed

I sort of managed to fix it. What can be done by the maintainers of this Gnome3 PPA to prevent an incident like this in the future?

I kind of fixed it by following what Ronan Jouchet wrote. I believe the problem is mainly with conflitting multilib packages, but I really can't say for sure right now. Don't know if it really can help, but:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-multiarch
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 : Depends: gtk2-engines:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: gtk2-engines-oxygen:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: ibus-gtk:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libgail-common:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libgtk2.0-0:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: librsvg2-common:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

is what I get when I try to install ia32-libs (I need it for teamviewer for example). Hope it helps tracking down the problem.

Hm yeah, I have just been living with kept back packages for the time being (I need ia32-libs for some things, and don't want anything missing). Getting a resolve asap would be nice. Looks like a multiarch issue of some kind.

The official version of graphite2 in raring isn't multiarch-enabled and therefore caused the problems.
