jockey suggests not installable packages on renamed stack

SRU request:

please accept the following packages so that 1) Jockey doesn't allow incompatible drivers to be installed with the new X stack 2) some drivers can have support for the new X stack:

jockey (0.9.7-0ubuntu7.6)
fglrx-installer-experimental-9 (2:9.010-0ubuntu0.2)
fglrx-installer-updates (2:9.000-0ubuntu0.3)
nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-310 (310.14-0ubuntu0.3)
nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates (304.64-0ubuntu0.2)

Hello Maarten, or anyone else affected,

Accepted jockey into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/0.9.7-0ubuntu7.6 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

After upgrading to the proposed version "jockey-text -l" (for example) starts failing for me. The 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.4 version does work.

ok, I've uploaded jockey_0.9.7-0ubuntu7.7 which should fix the problem mentioned by Stefan

While I did not find the package uploaded to proposed, yet, I took the packages from the link posted in PM and can confirm that it fixes the regression I saw.

(restoring the tag until the new version which is in the queue is approved by the SRU team...)

The fglrx-updates package in the queue addresses the dependencies like so:

--- fglrx-installer-updates-9.000/debian/substvars 2012-10-16 15:04:48.000000000 +0000
+++ fglrx-installer-updates-9.000/debian/substvars 2012-11-21 13:48:00.000000000 +0000
@@ -1,2 +1,2 @@
-xviddriver:Depends=xorg-video-abi-11|xorg-video-abi-12|xorg-video-abi-13, xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
+xviddriver:Depends=xorg-video-abi-11|xorg-video-abi-12|xorg-video-abi-13, xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)|xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
 xviddriver:Provides=xorg-driver-video

This is ok, but I think it would have been better to drop the versioned dependency on xserver-xorg-core as suggested in the bug report. oneiric's xserver-xorg-core has a Provides of xorg-video-abi-10, so there's no actual risk of a too-old xserver-xorg-core being pulled in together with fglrx; and by hard-coding xserver-xorg-core | xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal, you ensure that this will have to be updated again for the next enablement stack in 12.04.3.

BTW, Alberto, please note that fglrx-installer-updates (and probably other packages here) is currently blocked from being accepted into precise-proposed by an existing SRU which is still pending verification (2:9.000-0ubuntu0.1). If you think this needs to be pushed to -proposed before the existing SRU is verified, please reupload with -v2:8.960-0ubuntu1.1 and contact a member of the SRU team directly to have this accepted.

Alberto - I've rejected the jockey 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.7 upload. The .changes file needs to include the entries for ubuntu7.6 as well.

Additionally - please don't reformat code in SRU uploads. It makes it hard to tell what the active change is.

The old fglrx-installer-updates version doesn't support the new xserver abi, so the new stack needs at least 9.000. Because of that there's little point in uploading the old version with this change.

Thanks for reviewing my work, I'll make sure it's fixed soon.

I've uploaded fglrx-* on jan 3rd, but they're held until the other sru bugs are verified

I only tested installability, and fglrx-installer-updates/nvidia-173 install like they should. I can't test jockey yet without the nvidia driver updates.

Per Bryce, having the updated versions of the driver packages in -updates without the updated jockey introduces the possibility of wrong drivers being presented that will break the system. So since this SRU has been verified, I'm publishing the new jockey to precise-updates now even though it's only 3 days old. My understanding is that it's safe for the jockey package to be accepted into -updates before the second round of driver packages are accepted.

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
