[Bug 220781] Re: [intrepid] linux-restricted-modules-server metapackage not present in repository

[Stefan Bader]

** Description changed:

+ SRU justification:
+ 
+ Impact: Missing dependency causes lrm not to be upgraded when the Linux
+ server image is ABI bumped. Since Intrepid this won't affect the binary
+ gfx drivers but some wireless modules still provided through lrm.
+ 
+ Fix: Simple addition to the meta-package to include the missing
+ dependency
+ 
+ ---
+ 
  Edit: This is still happening in Intrepid (in my case, up-to-date
  Intrepid x86_64). I'm leaving the description below for history.
  
  ===
  
  System: Hardy x86 (fresh install from RC, latest updates & using main
  repository)
  
  Test case:
  install -server kernel via: sudo apt-get install linux-server
  
  Expected results:
  All necessary packages are installed, including linux-restricted-modules-server and the actual restricted modules package, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server.
  
  Actual results:
  The linux-restricted-modules-server metapackage does not exist in the repository, and thus linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server will not get installed.
  
  Note: my system uses the nvidia driver via nvidia-glx-new which requires
  restricted modules, and so the -server kernel will boot to the failsafe
  X configuration, unless I remember to manually install  linux-
  restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server.
