Bug#383982: release-notes: Describe replace of kernel-image package with linux-image package
Package: release-notes
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hello,
the kernel package has been renamed from kernel-image-* into linux-image-*.
But there is no depandancy between kernel-image-* and linux-image-* (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377228 ).
So when upgrading from Sarge to Etch, linux-image is not selected for
install by
aptitude dist-upgrade
But udev is selected for upgrade and would be downloaded.
But udev 0.93 depends on kernel >= 2.6.15 which is not in Sarge nor selected to
be installed. So aptitude stops.
Without the information that the kernel package is now named linux-image
the system can't be repaired and further calls of aptitude makes the problem
even worse. For example, aptitude would uninstall aptitude.
