[Bug 1607845] Re: List of versioned kernels is not right for Ubuntu

[Julian Andres Klode]

There are no 'linux-goldfish-headers' packages. In fact, there is no
package with goldfish in its name in yakkety.

Regarding 'linux-.*-tools', there is "linux-cloud-tools" which is
missing.

Concerning the second part: They are mostly irrelevant, but they don't
hurt. Better than keeping a packaging diff just to have a few lines less
in an automatically generated config file... I think the modules part
might be useful if you build stuff with module-assistant, but not sure.

So, unless I missed something, I'm going to fix the linux-cloud-tools
(or linux-.*-tools, but that might be too broad?) part and thats it.

In any case, if that's an issue for you, you can easily work around it
by adding your own stuff to "APT::VersionedKernelPackages".

Title:
  List of versioned kernels is not right for Ubuntu

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The following command outputs the list:
  $ apt-config dump --no-empty --format '%v%n' 'APT::VersionedKernelPackages'
  linux-image
  linux-headers
  linux-image-extra
  linux-signed-image
  kfreebsd-image
  kfreebsd-headers
  gnumach-image
  .*-modules
  .*-kernel
  linux-backports-modules-.*
  linux-tools

  but the list does not 'contain linux-.*-tools' and 'linux-goldfish-
  headers', which are versioned kernel packages as well, if I have
  understood correctly.

  On the other hand are these values appropriate for Ubuntu?
  kfreebsd-image
  kfreebsd-headers
  gnumach-image
  .*-modules
  .*-kernel

  Same thing for Ubuntu 14.04.
