Installed!
Not yet :-):

| The following packages have unmet dependencies: |

And indeed:

| Package libtiff5-alt-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. |
| This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or |

| E: Package 'libtiff5-alt-dev' has no installation candidate |
| root@tools-dev:~# |
I'm not sure what the WMF policies are for resolving packages with broken dependencies like that.

I've sorted out the dependencies, but I'll move some of the packages to dev_ and out of exec_ before closing this.

Change 80236 had a related patch set uploaded by coren:
Tool Labs: Move dev packages to dev_environ

I tried to test the patch on Toolsbeta, but I still get the same error as in comment #5. On Toolsbeta, "sudo aptitude show libvips-dev" gives "Version: 7.32.3-1wmf1", while "Version: 7.26.3-1build1" on tools-login - mystery solved! :-)
So it appears that the WMF site-wide repository has a package libvips-dev with a requirement for the package libtiff5-alt-dev, but the latter is not in the repository.
What's the proper course here? Should the libvips-dev package be fixed in the WMF repository, or is it okay in this case to pin the Ubuntu package via /etc/apt/preferences.d?

The change to the package has been merged, now it must be built and put into the WMF repo. On IRC, paravoid said this is usually done by the one who merged the change -> Coren :-).
Comment Actions
Coren, could you please finish this? This blocks successful Puppet runs on tools-login and tools-dev.
Comment Actions
After migration. FYI, that doesn't block runs, just make them whine a little bit. :-)
Comment Actions
Yep, and thus makes you have to log into each affected instance and look at puppet.log to determine if the Puppet run failed due to this or a new bug.

These packages are not present on the webserver nodes anymore. I don't know what happened. Could you please put them on again. Thanks!
Comment Actions
Hmm, a 'webservice --release precise restart' fixed this. I don't know why my webservice was reset to 'trusty'. I'll close again for now.
