Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

I tried to retrace a package with upgraded dependencies. Apport-retrace tried to download, unpack and configure the dbgsym-packages but failed because it hadn't the "old" dependencies any more.

Can you please give me a copy&paste/log of the entire session? Please run apport-retrace with -v for that. Thank you!

I've experienced the same issue. I've attached the log of the session.

This might be related to the dbgsym repository itself.

Before the apport-retrace call I have:
The following packages have been kept back:
libstdc++6-dbgsym (4.1.2-0ubuntu4 => 4.1.2-3ubuntu1)

Afterwards I have:
$ LANG=C sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -V
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:
  cpp-4.1-dbgsym: Depends: cpp-4.1 (= 4.1.2-3ubuntu1) but 4.1.2-0ubuntu4 is installed
  libc6-dbgsym: Depends: libc6 (= 2.5-2ubuntu1) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is installed
  libgcc1-dbgsym: Depends: libgcc1 (= 4.1.2-3ubuntu1) but 1:4.1.2-0ubuntu4 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Torsten, is your issue really similar? I. e. do you have uninstallable packages? Daniel's error is not really apport-retrace's fault, but an out-of-date package index.

Please note that it is not recommended at all to use apport-retrace on a production system without the -u switch.

Martin, sorry for answering so late. I've overseen your question in my launchpad subscriptions.
My package index is always up to date, they were really uninstallable simply because the old versions of the dependencies weren't available any more.
