Bug Description

Binary package hint: kvm-source

The version of the kernel used by the Kubuntu Installer and the version of the kernel
that actually gets installed differ. When adding kvm-source during the installation,
for example via a preseed late-command using in-target, it fails to configure, leading
to failures on dependent packages, such as a ${companyname}-desktop metapackage.

The patch fixes this: it still displays the warning, but DKMS will merely ensure that
the module is built after the reboot.

Please apply this patch and ensure the next hardy-backport version will also contain it.
Thanks!

Considering I mentioned hardy-backports, and the filename of the debdiff is
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39211564/kvm_84+dfsg-0ubuntu12.4~hardy1tarent1.debdiff
that should’ve been obvious ;-)

We’re using hardy with hardy-backports.
