Hello Ricardo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dkms into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/2.2.0.3-1ubuntu3.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

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]
