[Bug 474739] [NEW] debirf does not recognize Ubuntu generic kernel

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: debirf

The Ubuntu kernel for x86/x86-64 is some sort of combined kernel that
runs on both architectures.  The architecture for this field is
"generic" (not, eg. "amd64").  This seems to confuse debirf:

run-parts: executing debian/modules/install-kernel
W: Unable to locate package linux-image-2.6-generic
E: No packages found
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Initializing package states... Done
Writing extended state information... Done
E: Can't find a package named ""
run-parts: debian/modules/install-kernel exited with return code 255

$ uname -r
2.6.31-14-generic

$ apt-cache search linux-image
linux-image - Generic Linux kernel image.
linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64
linux-image-2.6.31-14-server - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86_64
linux-image-2.6.31-14-virtual - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64
linux-image-2.6.31-302-ec2 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64
linux-image-ec2 - Linux kernel image for ec2 machines
linux-image-generic - Generic Linux kernel image
linux-image-server - Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.
linux-image-virtual - Linux kernel image for virtual machines
linux-image-2.6.31-9-rt - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on Ingo Molnar's full real time preemption patch
linux-image-rt - Rt Linux kernel image

Downloading the correct .deb file and using the -k /
DEBIRF_KERNEL_PACKAGE option is a workaround for this problem.
