Package: linux-2.6 Severity: important I noticed that bug on my parisc machine: I wanted to get the latest linux-image-parisc-smp kernel from unstable, thus switched from testing to unstable in my sources.list, apt-get update and then apt-get install linux-image-parisc-smp. It installed linux-image-parisc-smp 2.6.15-1 *WITHOUT* installing the kernel version 2.6.15.
This is because linux-image-parisc-smp depends on linux-image-2.6-parisc-smp without any version requirement, leading to the following situation: k2000:/# dpkg -l | grep linux-image ii linux-image-2.6-parisc-smp 2.6.12-10 Linux kernel 2.6 image on multi-processor 32 ii linux-image-2.6.12-1-parisc-smp 2.6.12-10 Linux kernel 2.6.12 image on multi-processor ii linux-image-parisc-smp 2.6.15-1 Linux kernel image on multi-processor 32-bit I had to apt-get install linux-image-2.6-parisc-smp to fix the problem. As far as I can tell, the description for linux-image-parisc-smp says that it should depend on the *latest* binary image for Linux Kernel, and I've just demonstrated this is not the case. To date, this bug also affects linux-image-parisc64-smp, and i've checked on my ppc boxes, linux-image-powerpc and friends are affected as well. I believe all flavours suffer from that bug but I haven't thoroughly checked that.
