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 On 4 June 2013 at 21:03, Ben Hutchings wrote: > On Tue, Jun 04, 2013 at 08:46:50PM +0200, Piotr Engelking wrote: >> Source: linux >> Severity: wishlist >> >> Please consider having the linux-image-${version}-* packages suggesting >> the matching linux-tools-${version} package.

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.

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
