Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
I'm running Karmic in a VM using the virtual kernel.
Recently (2/6/10), my kernel was updated to 2.6.31-19. Unfortunately,
this upgrade broke openafs and the virtualbox guest extensions, since
the 2.6.31-19 headers weren't installed along with the kernel update.
I eventually figured out that I needed to install linux-
headers-2.6.31-19 manually. But I shouldn't have had to go through all
this. Ideally, the package manager should know that the headers for all
the kernels I run are a dependency for dkms. Alternatively, a linux-
headers package which depends on the headers for all the kernels I have
would be helpful.
Almost anything (including a more helpful error message in dkms) would
better than the current situation, where my kernel modules stop working
every few months and I have to go spelunking to figure out what's going
on.
** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
