You have been subscribed to a public bug: I wrote nbd support for debian-installer in Debian. For this to work, the partman-nbd installer module needs to be loaded. This module has a Depends: on the nbd-modules udeb, which exists in Debian but not in Ubuntu.
Since the nbd module is packaged as part of the block-modules udeb in Ubuntu, the easiest way to make partman-nbd work there, too would seem to be to add a Provides: nbd-modules. Alternatively, the nbd module could be moved to its own nbd-modules udeb, or partman-nbd could be changed in Ubuntu to depend on the block-modules udeb instead (which would imply a fork and is therefore not advisable). affects: linux subscribe subscribe [email protected] done (subscribing Colin by his own request...) --- debian.master/changelog | 7 +++++++ debian.master/d-i/package-list | 1 + 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/debian.master/changelog b/debian.master/changelog index 2525437..1d1a7be 100644 --- a/debian.master/changelog +++ b/debian.master/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +linux (3.9.0-4) UNRELEASED; urgency=low + + * Make the block-modules udeb Provides: nbd-modules, so that partman-nbd + works in debian-installer + + -- Wouter Verhelst <[email protected]> Thu, 30 May 2013 12:32:26 +0200 + linux (3.9.0-3.8) saucy; urgency=low [ Andy Whitcroft ] diff --git a/debian.master/d-i/package-list b/debian.master/d-i/package-list index e899056..ea8d027 100644 --- a/debian.master/d-i/package-list +++ b/debian.master/d-i/package-list @@ -137,6 +137,7 @@ Description: NFS filesystem drivers Package: block-modules Priority: standard +Provides: nbd-modules Depends: kernel-image, storage-core-modules, parport-modules, virtio-modules Description: Block storage devices This package contains the block storage devices, including DAC960 and -- 1.7.10.4 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [PATCH] Make the block-modules udeb Provides: nbd-modules https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1185777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
