broken packages in apt.opscode.com

Upgrade path of chef packages is broken in debian/wheezy

The following packages in apt.opscode.com/wheezy conflicts with debian.net/wheezy packages:

• libyajl-ruby with ruby-yajl
• libpolyglot-ruby with ruby-polyglot
• libtreetop-ruby with ruby-treetop
• libmixlib-log-ruby with ruby-mixlib-log

They did conflict at File level and conflict is not specified, then the only fix if you happen to be in this case is:

• Force overwrite with debian upstream packages :

   
  dpkg --force-overwrite -i ruby-yajl_1.1.0-1_amd64.deb
  dpkg --force-overwrite -i ruby-polyglot_0.3.3-3_all.deb
  dpkg --force-overwrite -i ruby-treetop_1.4.10-5_all.deb
  dpkg --force-overwrite -i ruby-mixlib-log_1.4.1-1_all.deb
  

• You may now

   
  apt-get -f install
  

• Then delete lib*-ruby packages as they are not in dependency anymore

   
  apt-get remove libmixlib-log-ruby libtreetop-ruby libpolyglot-ruby libyajl-ruby
  

• Reinstall ruby-* package, just to be sure

   
  apt-get install --reinstall ruby-polyglot ruby-treetop ruby-mixlib-log ruby-yajl
  apt-mark markauto ruby-polyglot ruby-treetop ruby-mixlib-log ruby-yajl
  

What should be done:

• Add a Conflict with ruby-* packages in lib*-ruby packages to inform apt-get it should REMOVE older packages before Upgrading chef/ohai
• Upload fixed packages to apt.opscode.com/wheezy
