Public bug reported: For two reasons, this recommends is too strong:
1) linux-tools is a virtual, provided by many linux-tools packages, and we have no way of knowing which one matches the kernel you have installed. 2) It recommends linux-tools for cpupower (per the Debian recommends of linux-cpupower), but the code in no way references cpupower, not even optionally. Recommends are meant as weak dependencies (you really want this, but we can work around it not being there), not strong Suggests. Fixing this will also drop linux-tools-aws out of ubuntu-budgie-desktop, which is a nice side-effect. ** Affects: tlp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: tlp (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: tlp (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: verification-done verification-done-bionic ** Also affects: tlp (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: tlp (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783455 Title: tlp shouldn't recommend linux-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tlp/+bug/1783455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
