I'm looking at this on +1, and there don't seem to be an obvious forward. Debian has their own SONAME versioning for when the kernel package breaks libcpupower's ABI, but we only have per-kernel-versioned packages.
* Do we want to provide an unversioned linux-tools-dev with a similar ABI-breakage SONAME versioning? * Do we want to patch these packages (if possible) to not depend on libcpupower? * Or if no one seems to mind (as it seems from the age of this), how about blocklisting the packages depending on libcpupower-dev from Ubuntu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215411 Title: libcpupower.so is not installed from linux-tools Status in cpufreqd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gkrellm2-cpufreq package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in opa-ff package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The patch for bug 1158668 installs cpupower_$(abi_version) command- line tool as well as libcpupower.so.$(abi_version). This isn't particularly suitable for projects that previously used libcpufreq and intend to migrate to libcpupower, because the libcpupower.so symlink is no longer installed. The command-line tools can also have symlinks (e.g. cpupower -> cpupower_$(abi_version)).
