@daniel-serpell I fully agree. This should also made available for HES wily.
Execution of sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-wily proposes to install linux-lts-wily-tools, but this package is not available in the repo and the additional package is not installed accordingly. Plus, linux-lts-wily-tools-common is not yet available (note that this would be the equivalent to linux-lts-wily-tools-common). linux-lts-wily-tools-4.2.0-27 only depends on linux-tools-common (which might or might not be ok). But I'm missing a package linux-lts-wily-tools or linux-lts-wily-tools- common (which could provide linux-lts-wily-tools via replacement) or both of them. And I'm missing a dependency to linux-lts-wily-tools-4.2.0-x so that linux-lts-wily-tools can automatically be updated where needed. For vivid, linux-lts-vivid-tools-common replaces linux-lts-vivid-tools according to package meta data. But linux-lts-vivid-tools-common should contain a dependency to the current package linux-lts-vivid- tools-3.19.0-x. ** Also affects: linux-lts-wily (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-lts-vivid in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455014 Title: package linux-lts-vivid-tools-common (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/perf', which is also in package linux-tools-common 3.13.0-52.86 Status in linux-lts-vivid package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-lts-wily package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Tried installing package, but it failed: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-lts-vivid-tools-common_3.19.0-17.17~14.04.1_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/perf', which is also in package linux-tools-common 3.13.0-52.86 Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 2:44:57 josh@josh-ThinkPad-T430 ~ apt-cache policy linux-lts-vivid-tools-common linux-lts-vivid-tools-common: Installed: (none) Candidate: 3.19.0-17.17~14.04.1 Version table: 3.19.0-17.17~14.04.1 0 400 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed/main amd64 Packages 400 http://ppa.launchpad.net/canonical-kernel-team/ppa/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-lts-vivid-tools-common (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-37.51~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt9 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-37-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.10 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu May 14 02:41:56 2015 DuplicateSignature: package:linux-lts-vivid-tools-common:(not installed):trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/perf', which is also in package linux-tools-common 3.13.0-52.86 ErrorMessage: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/perf', which is also in package linux-tools-common 3.13.0-52.86 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-07-18 (1030 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) SourcePackage: linux-lts-vivid Title: package linux-lts-vivid-tools-common (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/perf', which is also in package linux-tools-common 3.13.0-52.86 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-05-03 (375 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-vivid/+bug/1455014/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
