Bug#711108: linux-image-* should suggest linux-tools-*
tags 711108 + patch
thanks
Untested patch attached.
It may also be interesting to notice that apt already attempts to
prevent automatic removal of linux-tools matching an installed kernel,
but fails, since it assumes a version format which is no longer in use:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove

They use the wrong version format for their linux-tools package. Anyway, there's no reason to prevent auto-removal of this package as it's obviously not required to boot.

Source: linux
Severity: wishlist
Please consider having the linux-image-${version}-* packages suggesting
the matching linux-tools-${version} package. This would help users to keep
them in sync.

It might be a useful hint. However the linux-tools meta-package is
a more effective way to keep linux-tools-* up to date (unless you
install the kernel from experimental).

Sure, I already use it, but, for an example, even though I do have the kernel pointed at by linux-latest installed, I am not running it, as I haven't rebooted yet. I'd like perf to still work in the meantime. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
