Bug Description

The ubuntu-drivers-common package is installed by default on armhf desktop, shipping an upstart job that tries to call hybrid-detect. In spite of the changes to fix this in 1:0.2.68, hybrid-detect is still missing in the armhf package, causing errors when the upstart job runs.

This needs to be reconciled by either including hybrid-detect on armhf, or not including the upstart job. The latter might be more appropriate given that there are no known armhf machines with hybrid graphics? (In this case, please be sure to handle removal of the upstart job conffile on upgrade.)

Fixed in packaging git:

  * setup.py: Only install the upstart job on platforms where we build
    hybrid-detect. (LP: #1045193)
  * debian/rules: On architectures which do not ship hybrid-detect, generate a
    .maintscript helper to clean up the /etc/init/hybrid-gfx.conf upstart job
    conffile on upgrade.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.69

---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.69) quantal; urgency=low

  * Drop share/last_gfx_boot, and stop installing it in setup.py. This file is
    created and updated at runtime and should not be shipped in the package.

    the first xorg-video-abi-* dependency, but all of them. (LP: #1033222)
