[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1782582] Re: linux-image-generic depends on the proprietary amd64-microcode and intel-microcode
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782582 Title: linux-image-generic depends on the proprietary amd64-microcode and intel-microcode Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 dev with linux-image-generic 4.17.0.5.8 and the package depends on amd64-microcode and intel-microcode which are proprietary if I'm not wrong. Normally the kernel should run without any microcode updates so it might make sense to move amd64-microcode and intel-microcode from Depends to Recommends to allow users staying on the linux-image-generic metapackage without being required to install proprietary software.
