something is wrong in the headless seed i guess. that should install those bits. I am quite sure this wasnt always the case, but didnt track seed changes. or maybe i just never spotted this.

Same is true for other hwpacks like ux500.

should be fixed for release imo. requiring network packages with hwpack install is not acceptable.

The issue is that the hwpacks are built with --no-install-recommends, but are not
installed with that flag. Which do we want?

Thanks,

i think at best hwpacks would be installed without recommends.

In any case, those packages from above should be in the headless seed as they are not about hardware specific code.

Alexander and I discussed this on IRC and decided that putting recommends
in the hwpack is the better solution, at least for now. I just landed a change
to linaro-hwpack-create to always do this (it was dependent on the platform
you were running on before).

Marking this as Fix Committed in linaro-image-tools, but there may be other
things we want to do to fix this as well.

Thanks,

James
