IMPORTANT: How to fix launchpad-dependencies on Maverick

 

Hi everyone,

As you may know there is a problem with the stock pysycopg2 on Maverick that
prevents one from running the test suite (bug 631010).  I have fixed this issue
in the launchpad-dependencies package, but my fix requires manual intervention
on your part.

You only need to run this fix if you are:

 a) Running Maverick, and
 b) Have not pinned, forced, or otherwise downgraded to python-pscyopg2 2.0.13.


If you do require the fix, here are the steps to get launchpad-dependencies 0.82
to install:

  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2=2.0.13-2ubuntu2
  $ sudo apt-get install launchpad-developer-dependencies


This pulls in the latest packages from our archive, forces apt to downgrade
psycopg2 to our backported version, and then installs launchpad-dependencies
0.82, which depends up said backport.

You do not need to pin or hold the older version python-psycopg2 with this
solution.  launchpad-dependencies 0.82 will hold the old version for you.  If
you already have python-psycopg2 held or pinned you may now remove the hold.

Once python-psycopg2 on Maverick has been fixed someone must edit
launchpad-dependencies again to allow it on our systems.

If you have any questions, then please reply in this thread.
