#391236 — Bug#1104639: Kernel hook installed in wrong directory / missing dependency

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Package: reform-tools
Version: 1.71-1
Severity: serious

reform-tools installs a kernel hook under /usr/share/kernel.  As you
know, this currently only works with unofficial kernel packages.

The official kernel packages should support this in trixie, but I
still do not want packages to rely on this until *after* the trixie
release.  There is no way to depend on "a new enough kernel package"
other than through the requirement that systems are fully upgraded to
one stable release before upgrading further.

If you are not convinced by that, then there is another problem for
partial upgrades: if debianutils is not upgraded to at least version
5.21 then this hook will cause kernel package installation to fail as
it will try to pass 2 hook directories to run-parts which is not
supported.  So you should add a versioned dependency on debianutils if
you leave the hook under /usr/share/kernel for the trixie release.

Ben.

indeed you are correct. I'll fix this with my next upload in a few minutes.

Thanks!
