--- Begin Message ---Package: kernel-package Version: 13.011 Severity: serious Hi, kernel-img built with the current kernel-package fails to install on an older system (wheezy) due to dependency on kernel-common package which is not available there. dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-3.14.0-test2-00009-g0caed0719426: linux-image-3.14.0-test2-00009-g0caed0719426 depends on kernel-common; however: Package kernel-common is not installed. The package changelog claims that: * Created a new kernel-common package to host kernel-img.conf manpages. Create a default kernel-img.conf similar to the one generated by the base installer, and register with ucf. Updated the man pages and the examples. Made the generated kernel image packages recommend the kernel-common package. (Closes: #626216). AFAIU kernel-common should be recommended by kernel-img package but the above error message suggests that the dependency is hard Should this be changed to: Index: kernel-package-13.011/kernel/Control =================================================================== --- kernel-package-13.011.orig/kernel/Control +++ kernel-package-13.011/kernel/Control @@ -54,7 +54,8 @@ Section: kernel Priority: optional Provides: =ST-image, =ST-image-=CV, =ST-modules-=CV Pre-Depends: debconf (>= 0.2.17) | debconf-2.0 -Depends: =I coreutils (>= 5.96), =R kernel-common +Depends: =I coreutils (>= 5.96) +Recommends: =R kernel-common Suggests: fdutils, =ST-doc-=V=SA | =ST-source-=V, =ST-image-=V=SA-dbg, =ST-manual-=V Description: Linux kernel binary image for version =V=SA This package contains the Linux kernel image for version -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.15.0-rc6 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii bc 1.06.95-8 ii binutils 2.24.51.20140425-1 ii build-essential 11.6 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii file 1:5.18-1 ii gettext 0.18.3.2-1 ii kmod 17-2 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu2 ii xmlto 0.0.25-2 ii xz-utils [lzma] 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-2 ii docbook-utils 0.6.14-3 ii kernel-common 13.011 ii uboot-mkimage 2012.04.01-2 Versions of packages kernel-package suggests: ii libncurses5-dev [libncurses-dev] 5.9+20140118-1 pn linux-source <none> -- no debconf information -- Michal Hocko

Based on a suggestion by Michal Hocko, changed the relationship to a Recommends, which is what it should have been in the first place. (Closes: #749318). * Since the linux-image packages produced by make-kpkg recommend kernel-common, , development packages could be forced on to systems which installl kernel-common just for the man page.
