Public bug reported:
The problem is, that puppet cannot do the upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10
without manual interaction.
Reason:
Formerly the file /etc/puppet/puppet.conf belonged to puppet-common, and
now belogs to puppet. puppet-common is now just a transitional package,
but is still kept, since the puppet module packages still depend on
puppet-common and not puppet.
dpkg/apt now replaces the old puppet-common with the new puppet-common,
but still keeps the configuration file /etc/puppet/puppet.conf as
belonging to puppet-common and then complains, that puppet wants to
overwrite this file as a foreign file.
I had to manually purge puppet-common (to convince dpkg that
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf does not anymore belong to puppet-common) and
then to reinstall to get things installed correctly.
Proposed solution:
First fix all those puppet module files to depend on puppet and not
puppet-common anymore.
Then put a conflict in puppet in order to have puppet-common thrown out.
(And find a way to preserve puppet.conf while upgrading...)
regards
