The Jammy update can only be released after the fix is also present in Mantic, Noble (LTS), and Oracular.
It is a requirement[1][2] of the SRU process that all releases up to the development one (currently Oracular) have the fix, to prevent users who upgrade to the next ubuntu release experience a regression. In particular, in the case of a fingerprint reader, such an upgrade could even prevent login if the support for that reader is suddenly gone in the next ubuntu release. Regarding this comment: > @Andreas, The main reason is that the fix is for oem hardware enablement and > those target LTS series. I understand the focus on the LTS releases (noble became one after this bug was filed). Note the updated package is landing in the ubuntu archive, not some oem-specific repository, so it will be available to all ubuntu users. Therefore, I believe the do-not-regress-on-release- upgrades principle still applies. 1. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Newer_Releases 2. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#General_Requirements -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058193 Title: Support Synaptics fingerprint device with ID [06CB:0106] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/2058193/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
