Error with command "apt-get update" when using versioned "Provides:" (apt is too old to support that case)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I also had a partial upgrade warning using the graphical software updater.

Go to the ppa archive, and you can see yourself that 'l10n' is only generated for 'en'
As your language is not 'en' you indeed get the error. Either switch your system to 'en' or simply ignore that cosmetic problem (its only a ppa, not a genuine ubuntu archive)

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=es_NI.UTF-8
LC_TIME=es_NI.UTF-8

LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_NI.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

The system language is "en".

When using the Software Updater it displays an error after it updates the repositories. So, it's more than cosmetic.

Anyway, this was intended for the maintainers of the PPA. Maybe this is not the place to report this bug?

I have the same problem and my locale is LANG=en_US.UTF-8 / LANGUAGE=en_US.

My system:
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS 32bits
Kernel~3.13.0-108-generic i686

libreoffice 1:5.3.0~rc3-0 ubuntu1~trusty i386

I believe the status is wrong. I could not find the fix.

Same for me - I also have system language set to english but in
LibreOffice I have the german language pack installed also.
I wonder why this problem suddenly occurs. And I don't understand why
it mentions libreoffice-l10n where I only have packages with
additional language abbrevation suffix libreoffice-l10n-<language>.
... But I am not a package maintainer so I am probably missing some
basic knowledge here.

My locale:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=de_AT.UTF-8

There is no released fix.

+1 Still getting the warnings

For me they are gone. Try sudo apt-get install -f

I confirm, that the bug is not still been fixed for Ubuntu 14.04.5.
Martin Wildam, the advised method (sudo apt-get install -f) doesn't help.

Did you try disabling the ppa and fixing the old version before
retrying to update?

After ppa disabling and running "sudo apt-get update" the notification "Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package libreoffice-l10n" didn't disapire. The diffirence is that after theese actions this notifications displays only one time (one string).
I think, if i disable ppa and donwgrade LibreOffice to the version 5.2, there will be no notifications. But I want to use the latest version of LibreOffice and to get updates from ppa. We cannot say, that the problem is solved, if we have enabled ppa and installed LibreOffice 5.3 and we still get these notifications.

Uninstall the libreoffice-l10n then reactivate the repository and try
updating and only then do reinstall the libreoffice-l10n. I think to
remember, that I did it that way. However, since then I already go
another LibreOffice-Update not showing up with that error any more.

My system didn't have any libreoffice-l10n packages installed and I also get these errors. I'd tried the suggestions above and none worked so tried the following:-

~$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice-l10n
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libreoffice-l10n is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libreoffice-l10n' has no installation candidate

This implies to me that there is an installed package referring to libreoffice-l10n so tried installing one:-

~$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-en-gb
Reading package lists... Done

Seems that there's a libreoffice package explicitly looking for libreoffice-l10n rather than libreoffice-l10n-xx-xx or should not look for one at all as there is no requirement to have one on your system.

Is there a way to figure out which existing package is looking for libreoffice-l10n?

Thanks, Nick

Hi,
you are right - I checked situation on my system. Interestingly back
then I also had the errors using GUI like Software updater or synaptic
to install the updates. Looks like I also only removed the
libreoffice-l10n package and installed libreoffice-l10n-en-gb and
libreoffice-l10n-de instead - or if I remember right, those were
already installed anyway.

A sudo apt-get update on the commandline still brings up the same
warnings also for me.

So frankly, in the GUI I do not get warnings any more, but on the
commandline I do (or I did overlook them somehow in the GUI).

Best regards, Martin.

Yes, an error presents only in command line. It disappears only then the repository is deactivated and the package libreoffice-l10n-xx is not installed. After this package installing we'll have an error again. One string with an error - seems it's because only one package libreoffice-l10n-xx will be installed. And after activating the repository we'll get many strings with the same error, `cause there are many versions of libreoffice-l10n-xx for different languages in repository.

This whole thing happens because the libreoffice 5.3 packages use versioned "Provides:", but apt in Ubuntu 14.04 is too old and does not support these yet.

According to the changelog, "versioned provides" where added in apt 1.0.7, but Ubuntu 14.04 ships with apt 1.0.1.

To solve this issue, the libreoffice packages for Trusty must either stop using versioned provides, or apt in Trusty must be updated.

I have successfully built apt 1.0.10.2 (taken from http://snapshot.debian.org/package/apt/1.0.10.2/) for Ubuntu 14.04 and the problem is gone!

I'm getting the very same problem in Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64 bit.
I still get it when I uninstall every libreoffice component.
I have tried all the suggested fixes except removing the repo...
How about a solution?

If You've fully removed libreoffice, disabling the repository will solve the problem for You.

As long as any package with a versioned provides is in apt's database, either because it is installed or because it's part of an enabled repository, you get these warnings.
So either install a newer apt or disable the repository and run apt-get update twice.

They're still only warnings though.

Old APT and dpkg releases, and associated tools, do not support versioned provides.

This should be fixed with the upcoming 5.3.2~rc2 packages from https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-prereleases/+packages

All libreoffice conponents have successfully updated to 5.3.2~rc2 from ppa:libreoffice/ppa. All components except libreoffice-l10n-xx... A log is in an attachment. I have to notice that libreoffice-core 5.3.2~rc2 and libreoffice-common 5.3.2~rc2 are installed.

Currently using the GUI software updater I get a package dependencies
cannot be resolved error and the updater crashes completely with the
following message:
update-manager crashed with libreoffice-common in _show_transaction():
Depends: libreoffice-style but is a virtual package.

On commandline with apt-get upgrade I get this:

Alas, after each command 'apt-get update' run my-libreoffice-langpack-ru-list.sh again.
Not yet fixed in ppa.

I've successfully upgraded libreoffice from 1:5.3.1-0ubuntu1~trusty0 to 1:5.3.2~rc2-0ubuntu1~trusty1 via Synaptic Package Manager.
Please try, no system changes required.(except install of "synaptic"-package)
Mark for upgrade "libreoffice"-package, other packages will be marked for upgrade automatically.

Sergey, please check what version of libreoffice-l10n do You have now? I marked in Synaptic package libreoffice for upgrade and libreoffice-l10n wasn't automatically marked for upgrade.
