smxi sgfxi svmi :: bug reports

I'd call that a bug, corrected now, thanks for the sharp lookout.

There are some replacement kde packages where 4 (or 6 in my case) packages need to be let go . . . but the pre-du-package check puts them on hold preventing the kde 4.7 upgrade to go ahead - all looks OK with the upgrade now

[techAdmin]

which packages? do you remember?

:: Code ::

apt-cache policy kdebase-workspace kdebase-workspace-data kdebase-workspace-bin
kdebase-workspace-bin:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 4:4.6.5-4
  Version table:
     4:4.6.5-4 0
        500 http://mirror.peer1.net/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages
        200 http://mirror.peer1.net/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages
kdebase-workspace-data:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 4:4.6.5-4
  Version table:
     4:4.6.5-4 0
        500 http://mirror.peer1.net/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages
        200 http://mirror.peer1.net/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages
kdebase-workspace:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 4:4.6.5-4
  Version table:
     4:4.6.5-4 0
        500 http://mirror.peer1.net/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages
        200 http://mirror.peer1.net/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages

these are the only kde holds I am aware of in smxi currently, and they are all in apt now. None should trigger a hold because their version numbers match.

These were the packages that needed to be removed for the sid upgrade to kde 4.7 :

:: Code ::

The following packages will be REMOVED:
   kdebase-data (4.6.5-1)
   kdebase-runtime-data (4.6.5-1)
   kdebase-workspace-data (4.6.5-4)
   kdebase-workspace-kgreet-plugins (4.6.5-4)
   libplasmaclock4abi1 (4.6.5-4)
   libtaskmanager4abi1 (4.6.5-4)

Acer modules in smxi are missing in apt.
Let me explain: there is an error in an Acer Aspire machine: nouveau misaligned register, but I am not reporting it here yet, stillhave to research it, then maybe check on Debian forums or report bug.
The issue that is relevant to smxi is that I tried to load the acer kernel modules from smxi to try to solve and got the above notice.

[techAdmin]

all those modules used to be in apt, but most are now built into the kernel. Rather than try to track each version of debian, I just added in a check to see if it's in apt, if not, shows you message.

But I think most of these are gone now, so can probably be removed.

However, if the package is gone from stable, testing, and sid, it's safe to say it's gone.
