[powerpc] Unsatisfiable dependency in oneiric

I think you'll just need to bump the version and rebuild in -proposed.

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

Ok, so gnome-shell needs to be sync'd/merged from Debian in precise, then you can bump the version in -proposed for oneiric to pick up powerpc.

I've uploaded a no-change rebuild to oneiric-proposed, so somebody from the SRU team should be through shortly to handle things from here.

This needs a precise fix first. I can sync the package if that's appropriate, but don't have time for merging.

I just uploaded a merge of gnome-shell from Debian to precise.

Nevermind, Jeremy just uploaded a precise gnome-shell.

Hello Onkar, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-shell into oneiric-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!

Confirmed that the package from oneiric-proposed is installable on powerpc.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1

---------------
gnome-shell (3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low

  * No-change rebuild to fix up dependencies (LP: #903382)

I'm on oneiric. I enabled oneiric proposed but I can't get the problem fixed.

I typed "sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", but my gnome-shell is still broken. I also saw that it's the wrong version:

"alecive@calliope:~$ apt-cache show gnome-shell
Package: gnome-shell
Priority: optional
Section: universe/gnome
Installed-Size: 4864
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>
Original-Maintainer: Gustavo Noronha Silva <email address hidden>
Architecture: i386
Version: 3.2.0-0ubuntu1"

How to install 3.2.1-0-ubuntu1.1 version?

Ok I downloaded 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1 version from here -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386/gnome-shell/3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1

But firstly, the problem is not solved:

Secondly, when I run "apt-cache show gnome-shell" it seems that now I have two different versions of gnome-shell installed, that is, 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 AND 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1:

apt-cache show is showing you that gnome-shell is in both the "oneiric" repository (which is frozen when oneiric was released) and the "oneiric-updates" repository. Try running apt-cache policy gnome-shell to see which one is actually installed.

I don't have a powerpc machine so this is difficult for me to test but I believe it's working as the original bug reporter confirms.
