(I think my last comment in that bug may be a bit simplistic, since it's not clear that acroread has been converted to expect multiarch; there's more detail in the duplicate bug 998837.) 15:19:26 Launchpad bug 1022864 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Precise) "Oneiric to Precise upgrade test failed: User settings are not preserved on upgrade" [Critical,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1022864 15:19:28 Launchpad bug 990761 in acroread (Ubuntu) "acroread 9.5.1 is not installable on Ubuntu Precise amd64 system" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/990761 15:19:29 Launchpad bug 990761 in acroread (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #998837 acroread 9.5.1 is not installable on Ubuntu Precise amd64 system" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/990761 15:19:33 these last two finish the requirements needed for lotus notes on amd64 15:19:42 1022864 is such a BS critical :) 15:19:58 * cjwatson drops to high 15:20:23 cjwatson: want me to put those on my list? 15:20:48 stokachu: If you wouldn't mind, I think it'd be helpful 15:21:03 cjwatson: ok ive got them added to be worked on 15:21:12 Does anyone know what deals with gtk-theme migration? it's not ubuntu-release-upgrader, and I suspect it's something in desktop 15:21:29 no idea 15:22:04 Maybe gsettings-desktop-schemas since that ships that gsettings schema 15:22:11 if it is affecting precise is the ubuntu-release-upgrader task really accurate? 15:22:24 bdmurray: Probably not, but it's inaccurate anyway 15:23:09 Sent over to gsettings-desktop-schema and desktop can worry about it 15:25:44 bug 1021293 has also come up for 12.04, and so far I haven't had time to figure it out 15:25:46 Launchpad bug 1021293 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 12.04 install stalls when doing apt-get upgrade" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1021293 15:26:23 i'd take it but i think im at my threshold 15:26:39 Yeah, I may still get to it after all but wanted to mention it 15:27:13 ill add it to my list anyway and see if i can contribute 15:27:37 OK.
