[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#537986: drbd8-utils: utils package depends on drbd8-source

[Michael Prokop]

Package: drbd8-utils
Version: 2:8.3.2-2
Severity: important


The current *utils* package depends on the kernel module *source*
package:

% apt-cache show drbd8-utils | grep Depends
Depends: debconf | debconf-2.0, libc6 (>= 2.3), drbd8-source

Which results in an error on a fresh chroot installation:

[...]
Setting up drbd8-source (2:8.3.2-2) ...
Removing all [drbd8-8.3.2] DKMS Modules
/usr/sbin/dkms: line 107: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory
Done.
Adding [drbd8-8.3.2] Module to DKMS build system
grep: /proc/cpuinfo: No such file or directory

*************************************************
ERROR: Missing kernel headers.

You appear to have at least some kernel headers
installed, but you do not have the necessary
headers to build drbd8-source against this kernel.

You might try installing the meta package:
 $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-amd64
or specifically
 $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.29-1-amd64
to obtain the necessary build dependencies.

*************************************************

dpkg: error processing drbd8-source (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[...]

Please drop the dependency to drbd8-source. :)
