** Description changed:
- In Jaunty, the openafs-client (1.4.9.dfsg1-0+ubuntu3) package recommends
- openafs-modules-source or openafs-modules2, but does not refer to the
- new openafs-modules-dkms.
+ Impact:
+ In Jaunty, the openafs-client (1.4.9.dfsg1-0+ubuntu3) package recommends
openafs-modules-source or openafs-modules2, but does not refer to the new
openafs-modules-dkms.
This causes apt-get to try to install openafs-modules-source with
openafs-client, even if openafs-modules-dkms is already installed. As
far as I know, openafs-modules-dkms should satisfy all the same
dependencies as openafs-modules-source, so the openafs-client package
should probably be updated to reflect this.
+
+ Patch:
+ Patches attached for Jaunty & Karmic.
+
+ How it's addressed:
+ The openafs-modules2 option is removed since that package doesn't exist in
any supported Ubuntu or Debian release anymore. The openafs-modules-dkms
option is added as an "or" with openafs-modules-source but listed first since
it's the easier one for setup and thus preferred. Also, since they're all
built from the same source package and the openafs-modules-source version
requirement was 6 years old, unsupported upstream, and "well, it might work,
but that's a bad idea" according to upstream, the version is set to
${source:Version} since matching versions is the recommended situation.
+
+ Instructions to reproduce:
+ Try to install openafs-client and note that it wants to make you use
module-assistant manually when it could set everything up automatically with
dkms for you.
+
+ Regression possibilities:
+ None
