Please unblock ipheth/1.0-2.
This release closes a bug present in Squeeze.
changelog:
ipheth (1.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed the ipheth-dkms package (Closes: #597157)
NEWS.Debian:
pheth (1.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
As of 21 April 2010, the ipheth kernel module has been accepted in
the mainstream Linux kernel (2.6.34). There is therefore no longer
any need to supply the source code for the driver. For this reason,
the ipheth-dkms package been removed.
If you run a desktop system, it may not be necessary to install
ipheth-utils. Desktop packages such as GVFS and libgpod automatically
pair with the device when it is plugged in. The ipheth-utils package
will therefore be of specific interest to users wanting only to make
use of the iPhone's Internet connection.
Users upgrading from version 1.0-1 are advised to remove the
ipheth-dkms package in order to use the Kernel maintained driver.
Regards,
Paul.
