Ice 3.6 Ubuntu package dependencies broken for upgrading
Using the instructions at https://zeroc.com/download.html I am finding that the instructions don't work. This is on an Ubuntu 15.04 amd64 system with the Ubuntu Ice 3.5 packages installed (directly from the distribution, not from ZeroC).
Trying to install the problematic package:
Trying to follow this advice:
Trying to install just the runtime:
While these packages might work standalone without a preexisting Ice installation, they are an upgrade for the system-provided Ice packages and should be able to cleanly upgrade a system with these packages installed. In the case of the php-zeroc-ice and zeroc-ice-utils packages, was there really a need to break compatibility with the existing Debian package names rather than just adding a dummy package with a dependency to switch to the new names? i.e. the way Debian package renames are typically handled via a transitional package and a Replaces/Breaks on the new package.

Roger
