Public bug reported: Package linux-image-2.6.32-26-virtual (version 2.6.32-26.48) contains copies of the module maps in /lib/modules that get overwritten at package installation time when the postinst script runs depmod. This causes debsums and other programs to report that files in the package have been modified, when such changes are actually desired behavior. This appears to be a regression of this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/250511 The linux-image-server package does not have this problem, so it's something particular to how the -virtual kernel flavor is being packaged: r...@dev01:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg-deb -c linux-image-2.6.32-26-server_2.6.32-26.48_amd64.deb | grep /lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules tar: Record size = 8 blocks -rw-r--r-- root/root 4933 2010-11-24 11:13 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.builtin -rw-r--r-- root/root 97749 2010-11-24 11:13 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.order r...@dev01:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg-deb -c linux-image-2.6.32-26-virtual_2.6.32-26.48_amd64.deb | grep /lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules -rw-r--r-- root/root 69 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.ccwmap -rw-r--r-- root/root 218 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.inputmap -rw-r--r-- root/root 127 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.seriomap -rw-r--r-- root/root 99803 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.symbols.bin -rw-r--r-- root/root 74 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.ofmap -rw-r--r-- root/root 31494 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.pcimap -rw-r--r-- root/root 55937 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.usbmap -rw-r--r-- root/root 48394 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.alias -rw-r--r-- root/root 40433 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.dep -rw-r--r-- root/root 73 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.ieee1394map -rw-r--r-- root/root 56843 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.alias.bin -rw-r--r-- root/root 79757 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.symbols -rw-r--r-- root/root 312 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.isapnpmap -rw-r--r-- root/root 63645 2010-11-24 11:15 ./lib/modules/2.6.32-26-server/modules.dep.bin r...@dev01:/var/cache/apt/archives# The expected behavior would be for these files to either not be included (matching the behavior of linux-image-server), or if they're needed for some particular reason in linux-image-virtual, to be marked as conffiles so that debsums doesn't complain. The workaround is to use the linux- image-server package instead. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) 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/686087 Title: linux-image-virtual includes generated module maps -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
