Bug#692535: iucode-tool: did not load modprobe/update microcode after installation

[Jon Dowland]

Package: iucode-tool
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

This is report following my post
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/11/msg00113.html

Summary of situation:

 • I have APT::Install-Recommends set to false
 • I installed intel-microcode
 • I noticed iucode-tool was not installed, so installed it
 • Microcode was not updated.

Ideally IMHO the above sequence of events would load microcode. I sorted
the issue in that session by modprobing cpuid and running iucode_tool by
hand.

Thanks for your work on these packages!

Because the microcode module was missing at the point the intel-microcode
package tries to update the running microcode, I believe.  So, I will
reassign it to intel-microcode.
