[feisty] kvm depends of kvm-api-9 but that package is uninstallable

[voyageravv]

Binary package hint: kvm

When install kvm it shows this error:

kvm: Depends: kvm-api-9 but it's not installable

It looks like the kernel should have this in its Provides:. The Feisty kernel (2.6.20-14-generic) does have kvm by default.

CONFIG_KVM=m
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m
CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m

What version of kvm were you installing? An update to kvm 18-1ubuntu1 was just published today. If you didn't use that version, please try again with the update.

Based on conversation on IRC, "it'll be fixed soonish."

[Federico Raimondo (fraimondo)]

Anybody knows how long "soonish" is?

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Fixed in 18-1ubuntu1 (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/kvm/18-1ubuntu1)

[Federico Raimondo (fraimondo)]

The problem is that when you want to install this package, there is no such kvm-api-X package that satisfies that dependency. So it's impossible to install kvm.

I can confirm this is still a problem with kvm 18-1ubuntu1. It depends on kvm-api-9, which is reported as being uninstallable. I'm using the 2.6.20-14-generic kernel on amd64. So the status of this bug should be reverted to 'Confirmed' or 'In progress'.

[Federico Raimondo (fraimondo)]

Non fixed! kvm-api-9 is still uninstallable

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Sorry, I've tested it with kvm 16-1ubuntu1 only.

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

Just things out of sync. Next kernel upload will contain the kvm-api-9 provide. This isn't a bug on kvm anyway.

[Matej Kenda (matejken)]

The problem still persists with kernel 2.6.20-15.27.
