[errors.ubuntu.com bug bridge]

SRU request:

[Impact]

 * Listing the supported drivers can fail if the
   linux-restricted-modules for it are not available in the archive.

 * These changes unify the code for listing drivers (whether --gpgpu
   is passed in or not) and make it more robust.

[Test Case]

 * Install ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.6.2) from -proposed.

 * Call "ubuntu-drivers list" and "ubuntu-drivers list --gpgpu",
   and make sure that neither crashes ubuntu-drivers.

[Regression Potential]

 * Low, the code should catch all the KeyErrors now.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

this is not going to make it into the release, so needs to be an SRU instead; in which case we need an SRU-compatible bug description.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Can we get this bug description SRUified? We'd need to know if there is some reliable test case for it or not.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Hello errors.ubuntu.com, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-drivers-common into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/1:0.8.6.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.8.6.2

---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.6.2) groovy; urgency=medium

  * ubuntu-drivers:
    - Unify metapackage listing for --gpgpu and non --gpgpu mode.
      This relies on the more robust metapackage listing of
      the non --gpgpu mode (LP: #1900452).

this still needs verification, and is currently blocking the next update on the queue

The verification of the Stable Release Update for ubuntu-drivers-common has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
