Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: - The PowerVR SGX kernel module package for Pandaboard depends on linux- - headers-omap4 (headers package for the Omap 4 based kernel) and DKMS, - but when installing the package DKMS will also pull linux-headers- - generic, forcing the module build to happen with both kernel headers - package, besides wasting quite a few extra megabytes. + [SRU Justification] + DKMS is pulling in incorrect headers on some images/installs, plus this fix backports the removal of the 'linux-image' dep that was pulling in linux-image on various media, despite precise.2 wanting linux-image-lts-quantal. + + [Test Case] + Testcase is twofold: + 1) verify that the binary packages no longer have deps on any linux-headers or linux-image packages. + 2) verify that the latest precise daily builds no longer incorrectly carry 3.2.0 kernels on x86 + + [Regression potential] + Low, this dependency was pretty much always broken, and it was merely a fluke that it was handled correctly elsewhere and mostly a non-issue on x86 installs. + + [Original Report] + The PowerVR SGX kernel module package for Pandaboard depends on linux-headers-omap4 (headers package for the Omap 4 based kernel) and DKMS, but when installing the package DKMS will also pull linux-headers-generic, forcing the module build to happen with both kernel headers package, besides wasting quite a few extra megabytes.
