Bug Description

Updating libatk1.0-dev in karmic to the version of libatk1.0-dev in lucid causes an error, due to libatk1.0-dev in lucid containing the same file as the gobject-introspection-repository package from karmic. libatk1.0-dev contains the file in question due to the deprecation of the gobject-introspection-repository package.

Whilst most users do not have libatk1.0-dev installed, there is a good chance that developers updating from karmic will hit this packaging error. Whilst slightly outside the standard upgrade use case, the libatk1.0-dev package in its current form will break the release upgrade process.

There is no chance of regression potential, as the updated libatk1.0-dev package replaces gobject-introspection-repository, thereby taking ownership of the file file that causes the conflict error.

Test case:
This bug, and the proposed fix, are best tested in a karmic chroot, with all karmic updates applied. The tester will also require libatk1.0-0 and libatk1.0-dev packages for both lucid, and lucid-proposed, either by downloading the .deb files directly, or adding lucid-proposed as a package source in sources.list. If a karmic chroot is not available, an up to date karmic install should be sufficient for testing. If you wish to update your system completely from akrmic to lucid, skip step 2 below, and perform the instructions in step 3, ensuring you also have lucid-proposed in sources.list. The chroot method is preferred however, as it prevents the installation of other packages from lucid-proposed, which may interfear with testing the fix for this bug.

1. Enter the karmic chroot, and install libatk1.0-dev and gobject-introspection-repository from the karmic repos.
2. Either from .deb files, or by adding lucid in sources.list, install libatk1.0-0 and libatk1.0-dev packages. Notice the package error, due to two packages claiming to own /usr/share/gir-1.0/Atk-1.0.gir.
3. Again either from .deb files, or by adding lucid-proposed to sources.list, install libatk1.0-0 and libatk1.0-dev packages, making sure they are version 1.30.0-0ubuntu2.1. These packages should now install successfully.

NOTE: This bug is not present when upgrading from lucid to maverick, so no fix is required in maverick.

I am also impact with this bug.
The problem is that packages gobject-introspection-repository does not exist anymore in Lucid.
The source package need to be update in debian/control.in, the maintainer need to add gobject-introspection-repository into the replace line.
As i did not want to compile it, here is a work around.

Luke, could you get atk updated to the current stable version and fixes that issue in the same upload? libatk1.0-dev needs a Replaces on gobject-introspection-repository. Would be nice to get this uploaded next week if you can to make sure we are on time to get the update in lucid .1

Accepted atk1.0 into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I can verify that installing libatk1.0-dev and gobject-introspection-repository into a karmic system, and upgrading libatk1.0-dev to the package version found in lucid, that package installation fails. I can also verify that once lucid-proposed was added to sources.list, the upgrade to the package version in lucid-proposed succeeds, with libatk1.0-dev successfully replacing gobject-introspection-repository.
