Bug Description

For Ubuntu Server ISO (amd64 and i386) daily build 20101201, selecting the Virtualisation Host task fails with the following error message in the installer log:

  cpu-checker : Depends msr-tools but is not installable
  qemu-kvm: Conflicts: kvm

Installer stops with error message reflecting the fatality of the above error.

So looking at this in a bit more detail:

cpu-checker is in main but depends on msr-tools which is in universe (does not sound so good to me).

qemu-kvm has some weird conflicts/replaces/provides which don't look like they will actually work ad the replaces/conflicts does not have any versioning on then for kvm (as in previous releases).

affects: ubuntu → qemu (Ubuntu)

http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/11/24/%23ubuntu-devel.txt:[15:45] <cjwatson> kees: you made cpu-checker depend on msr-tools in universe, so it's now uninstallable; can you deal with the MIR side of that?
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/11/25/%23ubuntu-devel.txt:[06:48] <kees> cjwatson: cpu-checker can be demoted to universe (I removed it from update-manager-common)
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/11/25/%23ubuntu-devel.txt:[11:29] <cjwatson> kees: cpu-checker> the problem is that qemu-common recommends it

I didn't see a response beyond that.

Seems like kvm-ok needs to be pulled into its own package then, in main,
with cpu-checker containing the nx checker and depending on kvm-ok?

Kees, if you don't have time for this pls boucne it back to me, but I have
a feeling you'll already know exactly how to go about this.

This also causes Eucalyptus nodes to fail for the same reason.

msr-tools is in main now, so cpu-checker should be installable again.
