So the dependency is correct - the kernel package should not ship the drbd module anymore. status confirmed importance medium -- Mathias Gug Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com ** Changed in: drbd8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: drbd8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- drbd8-utils not dependent on drbd8-source https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to drbd8 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 474660] [NEW] drbd8-utils not dependent on drbd8-source
Public bug reported: The current drbd8-utils package has a dependency on the drbd8-source package. While I understand that the source package has been modified to build a DKMS module for the kernel, and the dependency ensures that a current (matching) kernel module is always built for the running kernel, I do not believe that this step is necessary. Since the drbd.ko module is built and included with the kernel by default, the need to build a matching module is not necessary. When the kernel is upgraded, the new module will automatically be included. I did not dig too far into the packages, but I believe that the existing drbd8-utils package is a binary package that is not rebuilt, so having the source does not ensure the utils are a match to the built kernel module anyway. Therefore, the dependency on drbd8-source should be removed from the drbd8-utils package. ** Affects: drbd8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- drbd8-utils not dependent on drbd8-source https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to drbd8 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
