Linux-restricted-modules-generic 2.6.28-12.16 in jaunty-proposed cannot be installed

[Amr Hassan]

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-generic

After latest updates on jaunty proposed, I lost my wireless Broadcom driver. The package linux-restricted-modules-generic cannot be upgraded to 2.6.28-11.16, it's always kept back.
The Hardware Drivers utility shows nothing. It used to show my Broadcom wireless driver.

I'm on Dell Inspiron 1525. Jaunty Jackalope.

I had the same problem here...the only way that I got my wireless back was booting using the old kernel (the one before this update).

got the same problem :/
and cannot install now linux-backports

[Amr Hassan (amr-hassan)]

Fully downgrading everything back worked. See

i can confirm that the proposed repositories are broken
there is some kind of dependency problem

The following packages have been kept back:
  linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
  linux-restricted-modules-generic

[Gavinfoxx (gavinfoxx)]

this is affecting me as well, and makes it so I cant get an appropriate wireless driver...

[AaronMT (aaron-train)]

This is affecting my Dell Inspiron 1501 as well with broadcom

The same problem. Exists since 06 May 2009.
Version 2.6.28-11.16 of restricted modules seems not in repository thus preventing kernel upgrade.

[gaestur (usx)]

Fix:
Sorry, not 2.6.28-11 but 2.6.28-12.

[Ilya Barygin (randomaction)]

Yes, version 2.6.28.12.16 of linux-restricted-modules-generic depends on linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-12-generic which is not in the repos.

[Daniel Eckl (daniel-eckl)]

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-12-generic now showed up on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules/
I guess it will need some hours/days until the mirrors catched up. http://de.archive.ubuntu.com is still missing it.

[next (next-to)]

on my german ubuntu i just got new 'linux-restricted-modules-common' and 'linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-12-generic' which finally fixed this quite nasty repo bug :-/

[JrBenito (jrbenito)]

Fix worked on HP dv2225nr (Broadcomm wireless).

Thanks and regards;

How do we get the fix that's been released? Is it now in the repos? Is there some package that makes sure all these kernels are kept up-to-date and could that be the problem in
