Description

I'm unable to do safe-upgrade and full-upgrade on Brigantia, because of a virtual / missing package libcapi20-3.

Full upgrade :

sudo aptitude full-upgrade
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libopal3.10.2{ab} wine1.3{ab}
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libcamel1.2-19{u} libebook1.2-10{u} libedataserver1.2-14{u} libopal3.6.8{u} libpt2.6.7{u} libsrtp0{u}
The following packages will be upgraded:
ekiga wine
2 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 26.0 MB of archives. After unpacking 104 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libopal3.10.2: Depends: libcapi20-3 which is a virtual package.
Depends: libspandsp2 (>= 0.0.6~pre18) but it is not going to be installed.
wine1.3: Conflicts: wine1.2 but 1.2.3-0ubuntu1 is installed.
Internal error: found 2 (choice -> promotion) mappings for a single choice.

Keep the following packages at their current version:
148) libopal3.10.2 [Not Installed]

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

Safe upgrade

sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
Resolving dependencies...
Unable to resolve dependencies for the upgrade: no solution found.
Unable to safely resolve dependencies, try running with --full-resolver.

Using --full-resolver gives the same result as full-upgrade. I suspect that if I accept the solution, I will end up with broken system.

Any suggestions are welcome.

A work-around is to download the package from Ubuntu [1] and intall it with dpkg -i.

I confirm this problem. I couldn't install ekiga because of missing "libcapi20-3". The problem was solved after downloading it from link above and installing it. Thank you.

This is a licensing issue. The corresponding source package 'isdnutils' was explicitly removed from the Trisquel repos [1]. The good news is that upstream know about it and it looks like it is being worked on. See Ubuntu bug #511988 [2].

Thanks for sharing. I was unable to find the reason for the missing package myself. Licensing issues are important, but without knowing why packages are missing leads to work-arounds like mine which does not actually solve anything if a package is potentially non-free or at least parts of its source code. Simply removing packages breaks dependencies and leads to broken system, like what I am reporting.

Isn't it possible instead of purging packages to make them virtual or dummy with a short explanation why they are missing and potentially a link to the bug report in Trisquel or upstream?

According to launchpad, the issue has been fixed in Debian, but hasn't been imported to Ubuntu.

Maybe Trisquel could offer a version of it before it's imported to Ubuntu?

This bug is not present in Toutatis (6.0) since Toutatis has the fixed 'isdnutils' source package imported from Debian[1]. However it seems that the relevant bug in Ubuntu has finally been fixed[2] so Trisquel should be able to revert back to the Ubuntu package in the next version. I have not checked the fix myself.
