Bug Description
SRU justification:
Impact: Missing dependency causes lrm not to be upgraded when the Linux server image is ABI bumped. Since Intrepid this won't affect the binary gfx drivers but some wireless modules still provided through lrm.
Fix: Simple addition to the meta-package to include the missing dependency
---
Edit: This is still happening in Intrepid (in my case, up-to-date Intrepid x86_64). I'm leaving the description below for history.
===
System: Hardy x86 (fresh install from RC, latest updates & using main repository)
Test case:
install -server kernel via: sudo apt-get install linux-server
Expected results:
All necessary packages are installed, including linux-restricte
Actual results:
The linux-restricte
Note: my system uses the nvidia driver via nvidia-glx-new which requires restricted modules, and so the -server kernel will boot to the failsafe X configuration, unless I remember to manually install linux-restricte
Fixed in linux-meta 2.6.24.17.19
