Yes, since the Ubuntu kernel still has the mcelog interface endless, the mcelog package could be used in Ubuntu. However, the interface is marked deprecated and the package was subsequently removed from Debian and then Ubuntu. I don't see a reason to reintroduce this package in sru, instead of users migrating to non-deprecated interfaces.
I might be willing to accept an sru if someone felt strongly about it. But for now I don't intend to do any work on this. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: mcelog (Ubuntu) Assignee: Steve Langasek (vorlon) => (unassigned) -- 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/1752251 Title: Missing mcelog userspace package in bionic - or maybe linux kernel config should disable mcelog_legacy Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mcelog package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There is no mcelog package in bionic. $ sudo apt install mcelog Reading package lists...
