[Bug 1682291] Re: obsolete drivers list may be out of date

[Brian Murray]

Ah, I did make that change to the build process.

ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:17.10.5) artful; urgency=medium

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * Drop obsolete alternate dependencies:
    - gir1.2-vte-2.90
    - gir1.2-webkit-3.0
  * Drop obsolete XS-Testsuite field

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * do-release-upgrade: Clarify that the "-d" switch is only for upgrading
    from the latest supported release to the development release, not any
    release. Additionally, provide a specific error message if run with -d and
    not running the latest supported release. (LP: #1700829)
  * build-tarball.sh: Stop updating ubuntu-drivers-obsolete.pkgs since it
    isn't needed any more see Launchpad bug 1682291 for details.

Title:
  obsolete drivers list may be out of date

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ubuntu-drivers-common provides a file named obsolete which is
  presumably a list of obsolete nvidia drivers. It doesn't seem to have
  been updated recently:

   $ ls -lh /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162 Jun 24  2011 /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
  [  3:30PM 10459 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:/tmp/dist-upgrader ]
   $ cat /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
  nvidia-glx
  nvidia-glx-new
  nvidia-glx-legacy
  nvidia-glx-envy
  nvidia-glx-new-envy
  nvidia-glx-legacy-envy
  nvidia-glx-177
  nvidia-glx-71
  nvidia-glx-190
  nvidia-glx-195

  Does it in fact need updating?
