Bug Description

[Impact]
dist-upgrade from artful to bionic fails with attached tarball

[Test case]
artful:
1. Install new desktop-file-utils
2. check that dist-upgrade works
bionic:
1. Download new deb
2. Run apt-get dist-upgrade path/to/deb in xenial to trigger upgrade with that deb being upgraded too.

[Regression potential]
Packages installing desktop files to /usr/share/applications won't get put in triggers-awaited state due to d-f-u.

[Other info]
Just fixing bionic makes an apt dist-upgrade work (not sure about do-release-upgrade); but it might not work in other circumstances I guess, so it might make sense to upload the fix to older releases.

We can only verify artful and bionic, though, so xenial would have to go in unchecked.

The trigger causes the desktop database to be updated, as such it is possible to use noawait here, as there's no reason for packages shipping .desktop files to be not configured just because the database has not been updated yet.

The same change has been made in Debian in 0.23-2.

[Original bug report]
run `sudo do-release-upgrade` on a relativity new 16.04 EC2 instance.

Do you happen to have and could you provide us with the following file from the system?

/var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz

Thanks in advance.

The sources.list file in the provided apt-clone information indicates that you were running Ubuntu 17.10 not Ubuntu 16.04 as mentioned in the description. Is this the correct apt-clone file?

I've been able to recreate this with both do-release-upgrade and manually editing sources.list from artful to bionic and then running 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.

I was able to work around this by editing sources.list and then first installing libglib2.0-0 before running 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.

Fixing desktop-file-utils in artful to be noawait fixes that, I'll try bionic next.

Log of successful upgrade after installing artful-proposed packages Edit (326.5 KiB, text/plain)

artful upload:

Verified by first running a dist-upgrade from artful to bionic, which failed; then first installing new desktop-file-utils before running the dist-upgrade, which succeeded (ignoring the friendly-recovery failure due to being run in container).

(the log was for a second run, first one failed to start dist-upgrade due to lock race, hence desktop-file-utils_0.23-1ubuntu3.17.10.1_amd64.deb was already installed).

Upgrading to bionic with desktop-file-utils_0.23-1ubuntu3.18.04.1_amd64.deb as part of the dist-upgrade also worked fine, as expected (again, ignoring friendly-recovery failure due to container).

Also marking xenial as verified, as the other two have not produced any problems, we know that the fix is correct, and the fix is tiny and declarative, and cannot be verified for xenial itself, as mentioned in the bug report.
