Title:
Some derivative kernel tools packages don't depend on linux-tools-
common
Status in linux-meta-hwe-5.4 package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux-meta-hwe-5.4 source package in Bionic:
Confirmed
Bug description:
[Impact]
Installing the tools package for some kernels, like linux-tools-
generic-hwe-18.04, does not install linux-tools-common because of a
missing dependency. This results in missing /usr/bin/* wrapper scripts
that call the version dependent binaries (like cpupower).
[Test Case]
Install like linux-tools-generic-hwe-18.04 on bionic and:
$ cpupower
cpupower: command not found
[Fix]
Add linux-tools-common as a dependency.
[Regression Potential]
The fix results in an additional package being installed. If something
goes wrong this would manifest itself as a package installation error.
[Original Description]
While running kernel 5.4.0-64 today on bionic I noticed that Canonical
kernel team does not provide a linux-hwe-5.4-tools package. Is that a
deliberate choice? If so, would you please share the reason?
