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

Intel updated the parameters to their JSONDataProvider.aspx script, breaking this.

[Uqbar (uqbar)]

So, will there be a solution or will Ubuntu run after Intel changing the APIs just for fun?

[Daniel J Blueman (danielblueman)]

SRU justification:
[Impact] functional failure impeding users from downloading the current Intel ucode at all times
[Development/Stable Fix] updated JSON URL inline with parameter changes Intel made
[Test Case] run 'sudo update-intel-microcode'
[Regression Potential] none: without fix, tool is unusable already

Daniel: "Closes" closes Debian bugs. You want "LP"

I went ahead and tweaked the LP closer and uploaded this to precise and to oneiric-proposed. Someone from the SRU team should process the upload within the next few days.

Hello Uqbar, or anyone else affected,

Accepted microcode.ctl into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Daniel J Blueman (danielblueman)]

I can confirm that the updated package [1] addresses the issue.

Should this already be available in the regular oneiric updates, or is this still pending in -proposed?

[Evan Broder (broder)]

The fixed package is in oneiric-updates.
