Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm includes symlinks to files in the vgabios package, but only newer vgabios packages provide those files. The dependency that natty & oneiric's qemu-kvm has on vgabios probably needs to be versioned to >= 0.6c-2ubuntu2 to work well w/ partial upgrades and backports. |
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm includes symlinks to files in the vgabios package, but only newer vgabios packages provide those files. The dependency that natty & oneiric's qemu-kvm has on vgabios probably needs to be versioned to >= 0.6c-2ubuntu2 to work well w/ partial upgrades and backports.
SRU Justifications:
1. Impact: users backporting qemu-kvm need to know to manually upgrade vgabios first. A versioned depend should be warning them and doing it for them.
2. How bug was addressed: the vgabios depends is versioned to ensure that the version provides needed symlink targets.
3. Patch:
