so, we seem to have a dependency problem here, no?

for reference, this is fixed by:

apt install linux-tools-common

but why was "linux-tools-common" not installed as a part of "linux-tools-generic-hwe-18.04"?

this is the dependency chain:

root@ceph-osd03:~# apt-cache depends linux-tools-generic-hwe-18.04
linux-tools-generic-hwe-18.04
  Depends: linux-tools-5.4.0-132-generic
root@ceph-osd03:~# apt-cache depends linux-tools-5.4.0-132-generic
linux-tools-5.4.0-132-generic

linux-hwe-5.4-tools-common: /usr/share/doc/linux-hwe-5.4-tools-common/changelog.Debian.gz

nothing installs /usr/bin/cpupower (that is, "linux-tools-common").
