Not sure that promotion to main is required for that. The zerofree package is recommended but not required. That recommendation came from debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472799 because someone thought it would be useful to VMWare users looking to shrink their disk images. I'd argue that 'Suggests:' is a better choice as the relationship is weak; maybe we can do that if the 'Recommends:' is causing problems. Or just promote zerofree is no one cares. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #472799 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472799 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1275656 Title: open-vm-dkms 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cunit/+bug/1275656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
