Bug Description

When trying to install the linux-header- packages for all the hwpack kernels (to build the gator package) I get the following error...

So we need to add linaro-lt-$SOCNAME to the install path
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.1.1-19 -> /usr/src/linux-headers-3.1.1-19-linaro-lt-$SOCNAME

In theory this was fixed with the latest changes at the LT packages, but moving to 12.04 because it was not verified.

I think this may still be broken. I added the inclusion of the headers to the lt builds but they may not be installed in soc uniq paths. If I understand the bug correctly I need to make the paths uniq so we can install headers from multiple socs at the same time for some tool that uses headers from multiple platforms.

This shouldn't be an issue anymore with the packages available at 12.06. Marking as fix-released, please open it again in case of issues.

We no-longer have a requirement to package pre-built gator modules, they are either already in the kernel package or can be built by installing gator-module-dkms

no longer affects: linaro-landing-team-arm
