Public bug reported: With bind9 9.16.0, dnsutils became a transitional package, pulling in bind9-dnsutils. A transitional package is arch all, since it only exists to pull in the new package.
This is breaking the bind9 dep8 tests on i386: builddeps:/tmp/autopkgtest.SImnUi/1-autopkgtest-satdep.dsc:i386 : Depends: dnsutils:i386 And indeed, a simple "apt install dnsutils:i386" tries to bring in the *old* and *real* dnsutils package, from bind9 9.11.x: The following packages have unmet dependencies: dnsutils:i386 : Depends: libbind9-161:i386 (= 1:9.11.14+dfsg-3ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libisccfg163:i386 (= 1:9.11.14+dfsg-3ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: liblwres161:i386 (= 1:9.11.14+dfsg-3ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libirs161:i386 (>= 1:9.10.6+dfsg) but it is not going to be installed root@f1-i386:~# apt-cache policy dnsutils dnsutils: Installed: 1:9.11.14+dfsg-3ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:9.16.0-1ubuntu1 Version table: 1:9.16.0-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-proposed/main amd64 Packages 500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-proposed/main i386 Packages *** 1:9.11.14+dfsg-3ubuntu1 500 500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status That's happening because dnsutils arch all, which is the new one, is not being considered to satisfy the dnsutils:i386 dependency. ** Affects: bind9 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack) Status: In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864761 Title: dnsutils:i386 uninstallable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1864761/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
