It's not clear to me what is going on in the ubuntu-make autopkgtest for artful/s390x but the failure isn't related to my SRU. From the log:
Investigating (0) autopkgtest-satdep:s390x < 0 @iU mK Nb Ib > Broken autopkgtest-satdep:s390x Depends on ubuntu-desktop:s390x < none @un H > Removing autopkgtest-satdep:s390x because I can't find ubuntu-desktop:s390x Done There is no ubuntu-desktop for s390x in artful, so the failure makes sense. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python3-defaults in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768379 Title: python3-minimal should predepend on versioned version of python3-minimal Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in python3-defaults source package in Artful: Fix Committed Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Artful: Invalid Status in python3-defaults source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in python3-defaults package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Release upgrades from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to either Ubuntu 17.10 or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS can fail if python3-minimial is unpacked before python3.x-minimal so a system won't have a usable python3 symlink. Then upgrades will fail because py3clean, used in prerm scripts of python3 packages, will fail with "not found". [Test Case] 1) on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system with python3-apt installed download debs for Ubuntu 17.10 or 18.04 LTS of python3-minimal and python3-apt 2) dpkg --unpack python3-minimal... 3) dpkg --unpack python3-apt...

While that may qualify as verification it'd still be good to test unpacking python3-apt. To do that you'll need to install python3.6-minimal from the target release by editing you /etc/apt/sources.list to the new release, running 'apt-get update', and then 'apt-get install python3.6-minimal'. After that's all done you can try steps 2 and 3 from the test case again and you should not receive a Traceback. [Regression Potential] Its possible this could cause or reveal different upgrade failures so some extensive (desktop, cloud, server) upgrade testing should be done. [A Portion of the Original Description (it was a huge blob of failure)] do-release-upgrade -d on my 16.04 LTS unity laptop lead to an install failure: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1768379/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
