[Bug 1123107] Re: Jockey should install the linux-$flavour metapackage

[Brian Murray]

Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected,

Accepted jockey into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/0.9.7-0ubuntu7.8
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 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, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

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

Bug description:
  Neither binary graphics drivers nor dkms depends on the linux-headers
  any longer. This means that we need Jockey to at least try to install
  the correct linux-$flavour metapackage so that users get the correct
  linux headers together with linux updates.

  In raring we already do this in ubuntu-drivers-common and software-
  properties-gtk. In precise we could build upon what we have thanks to
  LP: #567699 and reuse the code from u-d-c.

  Note: while it's true that Ubiquity already does the right thing, this
  bug report aims to cover cases in which, for example, the metapackages
  are not there any more for some reason or because users have installed
  a different kernel flavour
