[Bug 235327] Re: ubuntu-desktop recommends linux-headers-generic

 

Ok, thanks for the notice, I confirm that the issue regarding the "linux-headers-*" packages is fixed.
The only glitch now is that "linux-image-*" packages are not required by other packages. In my opinion the metapackage "ubuntu-minimal" should depend on the virtual package "linux-image", ensuring that at least one of the "linux-image-*" packages is installed.

Title:
  ubuntu-desktop recommends linux-headers-generic

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ubuntu-desktop should not recommend linux-headers-generic, since not everyone use that kernel.
  For instance, since I run ubuntu inside a vmware virtual machine, I use the linux-virtual kernel instead of the linux-generic kernel. So for me the linux-headers-generic package is useless, and should be substituted with the linux-headers-virtual package.
  I think ubuntu-desktop should recommend ONE among linux-headers-* packages (which could be for instance linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-virtual, linux-headers-server, linux-headers-xen and so on...)
  In other words, installing either of these packages should satisfy the ubuntu-desktop recommendation.
