package python3 3.2.3-5ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/py3versions', which is also in package python3-minimal 3.2.3-5ubuntu1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

there's more here to do. py3clean and py3compile should be in python3-minimal too.

Matthias, your upload for this appears to include a lot of unrelated changes to debian/rules; I would expect this to be a one-line change. Can you explain why the other changes are needed for this bug fix - or else drop the changes and reupload?

Hello Wotan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python3-defaults into quantal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/3.2.3-5ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Please, do not change per-series task bug statuses. The fix is not released yet, as it's only in -proposed at the moment. We mark bugs as fix released only once they hit release pocket (for devel series) or -security/-updates pockets (for stable series).

As an affected user, I can confirm that the newly-created package python3-defaults in quantal-proposed - installed using sudo apt-get -f install - fixes the problem.

@reza, see comment #7

@7-roger, please read comment #7

Understood Thanks

As a part of the Stable Release Updates quality process a search for Launchpad bug reports using the version of python3-defaults from quantal-proposed was performed and bug 1168537 was found. Please investigate this bug report to ensure that a regression will not be created by this SRU. In the event that this is not a regression remove the "verification-failed" tag from this bug report and tag 1168537 "bot-stop-nagging". Thanks!

The dpkg log in #1168537 shows that this was happening with python3_3.2.3-5ubuntu1.1, NOT python3_3.2.3-5ubuntu1.2, I'm guessing apport tripped and reported against the wrong package version after it had been successfully upgraded?

And verified that this fix seems to be good for precise as well.

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

This bug was fixed in the package python3-defaults - 3.2.3-0ubuntu1.2
