The packge xorg still needs to be moved to trusty-updates.

Instead of uploading a new llvm-toolchain-3.5 package to trusty-proposed, let's reuse the llvm-toolchain-snapshot source package which already builds all of the relevant binaries in trusty.

The new xorg/mesa packages should, but don't, have a "Provides: <name-of-package-being-replaced>" field in the Debian control file, to avoid breaking other installed packages which depend on the older xorg/mesa packages by name; for example, the lib-gl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic package's control file should contain "Provides: lib-gl1-mesa-glx".

Addendum: my comment above is relevant if someone chooses to install the "lts-utopic" packages from proposed on a current 14.04 system.

Installation of xserver-xorg-lts-utopic seems to pull in a bunch of unity8 packages. Is this expected behavior?

I could not reproduce what comment #15 said, only the correct packages were pulled when I upgraded with:

sudo apt install libgles2-mesa-lts-utopic libglapi-mesa-lts-utopic linux-generic-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386

However, I can confirm comment #13 in that the Mesa packages miss the Provides: so I lost my qtbase5-dev and can't reinstall it.

Other than that, all seems functioning well.

@16
Hi Timo,

Try:
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-core-lts-utopic

Reagards

@17: I think that's understandable that not giving enough necessary packages may make apt do wrong decisions. The upgrade is very complex package dependency wise so apt needs to be given as much information as possible so that it's able to do the correct upgrade.

I experienced the same with 12.04 LTS point releases, for example I needed to add that "libglapi-mesa-lts-xxx" at some point or otherwise I also experienced apt doing misupgrades I think during 12.04.2 -> 12.04.3 HWE stack or so.

As upgrading HWE stack from command line is an advanced operation, I think the current situation seems good (and documentable, ie just use the command I gave for example) aside from the "Provides:" problem making some packages uninstallable after the upgrade.

@18 : I now tried the upgrade again with the more complete command provided by Timo (@16) and apt now selected the correct packages. The updated stack appears to be working well.

I needed to do something like apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386

$ apt-cache show libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic | grep Provides
Provides: libgl1, libgl1-mesa-glx, xorg-renamed-package, xorg-renamed-package-lts-utopic

Although the provides: libgl1 should be enough in this case, no need for an explicit libgl1-mesa-glx but it's there anyway. ;-)

I upgraded my system to the utopic stack. Unfortunately, after cleaning old config files I rebooted to find that X couldn't be started. Essentially the symlink "/etc/X11/X" got deleted. I recreated it manually (reconfiguring xserver-xorg-lts-utopic also works).

I guess this is a known issue (bug #1132736). Any way to avoid this when upgrading HWE?

Timo, I saw you were affected by this on Precise. Same thing on Trusty for you?

franglais.125: Yes, I tested it on purpose that bug #1132736 still happens on 14.04.X HWE updates for the pedantic of us that clean up removed packages' configuration bits and pieces.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1 needs to be moved to trusty-updates.

Is there any way to preserve wine, libsdl-*-dev and qt5 when installing the hardware enablement bits on 14.04 (with -proposed disabled)?

I tried the suggested apt command lines, but none of them seemed to install the new mesa/xorg stack and preserve wine/qt5/libsdl at the same time. See the attached apt output.

Add libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386 to your line..

Thanks, Maarten. I just noticed my comment was missing the apt command that I used.

I now use

> LANG=C sudo apt install --install-recommends libgles2-mesa-lts-utopic libglapi-mesa-lts-utopic linux-generic-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386

and now wine is preserved. However, I still lose qt5-default, qtbase5-dev and some other qt5 libs, and also libsdl2-2.0-0 and related sdl libs, and some random other libs where I'm not sure I really need them (I guess not). Adding qt5-default and qtbase5-dev to the command leads to http://paste.ubuntu.com/10141032/ (I already have the utopic kernel, so that note there by apt is correct).

I'm not sure if this is a bug in one of the backported packages, or another package, or even my system setup or apt skills. Since #16 and #13 apparently had the same issue, it might be related. Let me know if this is not the right place to post this. :-)

I tried this again now, and after installing libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic I was able to re-install qt5-default and qtbase5-dev, and then ubuntu-sdk.
