kubuntu-desktop depends on linux-headers-686

[Hervé Fache]

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

Shouldn' t that be linux-headers-386? Or better, any of -686, -386 and -k7?

[Juan Carlos Torres (jucato)]

Confirmed.

kubuntu-desktop in previous releases, doesn't depend on any linux-headers. It seems that kubuntu-desktop is the only package that depends on linux-headers-686.

I'm going to mark this bug Fix Released because the original poster's bug has been addressed. If this is in error or you feel that this decision is incorrect, please reopen the bug.

Thank you for the bug report.

Yes, the real problem was to depend on the -686 version only. -386 is
fine, but maybe it should be recommending the -generic one?
