Bug Description
The package description for linux-tools-
Description: Linux kernel tools for version 2.6.32-21
This package provides the architecture dependant parts for kernel
version locked tools for version 2.6.32-21 on
DESC.
and the corresponding metapackage linux-tools has:
Description: Linux kernel versioned Tools
This package will always depend on the latest Linux kernel versioned tools
available. The Ubuntu patches have been applied.
Neither of these explain what this package includes, or what it's useful for. See http://
"The description should describe the package (the program) to a user (system administrator) who has never met it before so that they have enough information to decide whether they want to install it."
Also notice the raw "DESC" which looks like it was meant to be used for a string substitution.

Hi Matt,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/daily- live/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 593107
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
