Comment 13 for bug 643787

Rick: when you ran into these problems, did you have the ubuntuone hackers private PPA enabled? That archive has had a package with a newer version number than the one in lucid-proposed.

When I disabled the ubuntuone hackers PPA and downgraded to the stock lucid packages, I didn't see any of these errors you reported (either from "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get install erlang-ssl"). Samuele's new_ssl_test script appears to function after installing the lucid-propsed packages.

If I reinstall the erlang packages from the ubuntuone hackers PPA and then try to install any of the lucid-proposed packages, I do get errors similar to what you describe, but that is to be expected when we're talking about a downgrade.

Does this sound anything like what you experienced?
