Uploaded, pending SRU team review
** Changed in: microcode.ctl (Ubuntu Natty)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: microcode.ctl
It looks like the update-intel-microcode python script which replaced
the old bash script runs into some trouble parsing the JSON file Intel
provides, and so microcode updates fail on Linux... again. :-/
I'm sure it would be so easy for Intel to provide a stable interface
which would allow for retrieving this information in a proper and
reliable way, they /just/ need to do this... ;-)
