• install issue with bionic packaging -- bind9/bionic 1:9.16.3-1+ubuntu18.04.1+isc+2

    Hi all

    Can't seems to find a better place to voice an issue with the
    installation of the latest packaging for ubuntu bionic which has home at https://launchpad.net/~isc/+archive/ubuntu/bind.


    I meet a dependency issue concerning init-system-helpers which is
    currently 1.51 and is asked to be 1.54. Can somebody confirms that ?

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     bind9 : PreDepends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.54~) but 1.51 is to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    Hi Marcel,

    this is unfortunately side-effect of how the PPA is provided. The bind9 package needs debhelper 10 to build, but for Ubuntu Xenial, the =
    debhelper
    =3D 10 is provided only in xenial-backports.

    Unfortunately, the PPA has only one =E2=80=9Eknob=E2=80=9C that either = enables backports
    for all Ubuntu releases or none, which in turn leads to bionic-backports
    to be enabled which pulls newer build toolchain which in turn adds =
    dependency
    on init-system-helpers >=3D 1.54.

    Let me try if I can tweak the dependencies, so I can build with a =
    default set
    of dependencies. Meanwhile you can add bionic-backports to your apt = sources.list
    to solve the missing dependency.

    yes it works now:

    1) add bionic-backports
    2) apt update
    3) apt install -t bionic-backports  init-system-helpers 
    #   1.56 is installed
    4) business as usual

    As a user i am very happy with that. Thanks for all your involvement. I wouldn't be hurt if you had better things to do than to fight a
    packaging infrastructure.
