Security Issue: Ubuntu update manager now reports that "linux-image-2.6.32-24-powerpc 2.6.32-24.41" is available as a security update; but that package's Description warns: "You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-powerpc meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed." However, the linux-powerpc package is stuck at an earlier version, so the kernel update cannot be applied through that meta-package. The resulting confusion may cause users to ignore updates. If we keep the linux-ports-meta package up-to-date, users will be encouraged to apply the update when notified. Are volunteers needed to assist in this process?
