** Description changed: [Impact] - * Current users running Xenial will be unable to upgrade to Yakkety, - due to missing package.

The button to update basically does + nothing. - * To allow users to upgrade to + * Fixing this will allow the significant proportion of users likely to + upgrade via the GUI route to do so. - * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an - explanation of how the upload fixes this bug. + * The package ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt is a required component for + GUI distribution upgrade in kubuntu, so reintroducing a dependency + ensures this is installed by default for such users. [Test Case] - * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug + * In software sources set the default Release upgrade path to Normal to + allow Xenial to Yakkety upgrade. - * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected - package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes - the problem. + * In plasma-discover when offered the upgrade click the 'Upgrade' button to accept. + + * Without ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt installed the upgrade does not launch - failing with any apparent error message to the user. In effect the button appears to do nothing. + + * With ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt the upgrade launches and continues as + intended. [Regression Potential] - * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result - of this change. + * This is the installation a missing package via an updated dependency, + which is only used during release upgrades. Therefore it is anticipated + that the regression potential is minimal. We are restoring a package + that was always intended to be installed. - * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before - upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important - to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the - event of a regression. - - * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered, - and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU. - - [Other Info] - - * Anything else you think is useful to include - * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board - * and address these questions in advance - + [Original report:] Xenial 16.04.1 plasma-discover (5.6.2-1ubuntu1) Previously in wily muon-updater depended on ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt, meaning this was installed by default. In Xenial muon-updater became a transitional dummy package for plasma- discover-updater, and this dependency was not carried over, resulting in ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt not being installed by default and a GUI release upgrade to Yakkety 16.10 failing silently to the user after the 'Upgrade' button in software upgrades is clicked. The bug is initially filed against plasma-discover, however it may be more appropriate to update dependencies of another package instead.
