------- Comment From ha...@us.ibm.com 2017-09-12 15:26 EDT------- My understanding is that "16.04.3" doesn't imply the 4.10 kernel.
Rather, both the 4.4 kernel series and the HWE kernel series (which would correspond to 4.10 in 16.04.3) are valid for 16.04.x. Maybe this is fixed in the 4.10 HWE series (which I can't switch to at the moment) but not in the 4.4 "base" series? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696375 Title: cpupower suggests installation of non-existent linux-cloud-tools- generic package Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Problem Description =========================== cpupower suggests installation of non-existent linux-cloud-tools-generic package Problem occurs on an IBM POWER 16.04 LTS system. Unknown whether it occurs on other architectures or later releases. When run _without package "linux-tools-$(uname -r)" installed_, cpupower will issue a complaint, suggesting to install (among others), some linux-cloud-tools-*-generic packages: $ cpupower WARNING: cpupower not found for kernel 4.4.0-75 You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel: linux-tools-4.4.0-75-generic linux-cloud-tools-4.4.0-75-generic You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date: linux-tools-generic linux-cloud-tools-generic However, those linux-cloud-tools-*-generic package appear not to exist --at least not in the default repos. Package linux-cloud-tools-common exists, but none of the *-generic packages are available: $ apt-cache policy "linux-cloud-*" $ cat xxx linux-cloud-tools-common: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4.4.0-78.99 Version table: 4.4.0-78.99 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial-proposed/main ppc64el Packages 4.4.0-77.98 500 500 http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial-updates/main ppc64el Packages 4.4.0-75.96 500 500 http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial-updates/main ppc64el Packages 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial-security/main ppc64el Packages [...] 4.4.0-21.37 500 500 http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial/main ppc64el Packages The cpupower command works (at least doesn't give this complaint) if the appropriate linux-tools-$(uname -r) (perhaps via linux-tools-generic) is installed, so the cloud package is maybe not needed (as least for some functionality). I think the fix is to either: a) supply the cloud packages for POWER, or b) remove the non-existent packages from cpupower's complaint message. ---uname output--- Linux fs3 4.4.0-75-generic #96-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 09:55:30 UTC 2017 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux Machine Type = Firestone ---Steps to Reproduce--- Install linux-tools-common but NOT linux-tools-*-generic on a POWER 16.04 LTS system, then run cpupower.
