[Koha] Koha Debian packages for 18.05.02 and 17.11.08 are up

[Mirko Tietgen]

Hi,

I think you are missing the point. You already do have
libhttp-oai-perl installed. Hence the conflict. Your proposed
changes will not help you at all. Your configuration does not allow
dpkg to remove libhttp-oai-perl during the upgrade process, which
could be a result of that package being labelled essential in your
configuration or something completely different. The expected
behaviour in a default installation is a few lines of "dependency
problems, but removing anyway as you requested" and then it's done.
Try adding --force-depends to your upgrade command, that may fix it.
