Conn O Griofa (psyke83) wrote : linux-restricted-modules-server metapackage not present in repository

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-restricted-modules-server and the actual restricted modules package, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server.

Actual results:
The linux-restricted-modules-server metapackage does not exist in the repository, and thus linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server will not get installed.

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-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server.
