Title:
Header files of new builds of the Kernel not installed automatically
while update after install and remove packages with upstream kernel
from kernel-ppa
Status in APT:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Typical user do this:
1. Install Lucid release or Maverick Beta.
2. Update. New headers will be downloaded and installed without problems, as
expected.
But Launchpad users sometimes do this, because developers and contributors
ask test upstream kernel:
1. Install Lucid release or Maverick Beta.
2. Install upstream kernel from this link:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds
3. Do something with upstream kernel - check some bug for example.
4. So, after that upstream kernel not no need anymore (and its' not
comfortably - it' not updated automatically) - user remove it.
5. Try update after that - headers of new kernel, what available in
repositories, not installed automatically. It's a big problem for all, who use
additional kernel modules (VirtualBox modules, proprietary video driver
modules, etc.), because after kernel update without headers update system can
not run graphical mode or work incorrect (VirtualBox can not run virtual
machines).
I conclude there is no problem with APT or Linux, but problem with testing of
upstream kernel process (Installing/Uninstalling) for Launchpad users.
Xorg team already have PPA and ppa-purge for testing fresh X.org and FOSS
drivers. Maybe need create something similar for upstream kernel testing
process?
