Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

I dist-ugraded kernel to lucid beta-1 on a Ubuntu amd64 install (quite a lot of customizations, but not on the kernel side). During karmic I had fglrx running, which was removed during the dist-upgrade (at beta-1 time, fglrx doesn't work with lucid yet, and the free ati driver is great now, so I'll keep it like that).

However, the upgrade also removed linux-headers-2.6.31-18{,-generic}, i. e. the headers for the kernel I was currently running. As long as the new one boots fine, this isn't a big deal, but I think we should be a cautios and not clean up the headers for the running kernel.

The dist-upgrade also removed some older kernels/headers, which is great of course.

update-manager (1:0.133.4) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py, DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeView.py:
    - detect pre-depends cycle and cleanly revert (LP: #516727)
      to the old system state
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:
    - only ensure translations are kept if they are still downloadable,
      there is a lot of churn in the translations area so its not
      feasible to keep them all
    - when checking the kernel list from base-installer, also consider
      kernels that are marked install (LP: #540114)
    - check rdepends of all packages (including auto-removal ones)
      again ensure the removal blacklist is honored in all cases
      (LP: #540823)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    - show progress information when searching for obsolete software
      (this can take a bit on a big install)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive.py:
    - fix crash in non-interactive mode (thanks to Andreas Hasenack)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Ship /var/lib/update-notifier directory in update-manager-core, so that
    it's always there for 91-release-upgrade (LP: #540159).
