Packaging of Ultimate Edition question continued....
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:10 pm
So per this thread http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6195 i suggested that we allow Ultimate Edition to be a full development ready distro. My suggestion still stands but it has come to my attention that some serious tweaking will be in order for this to happen which i will explain. Now per this thread http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=6187 i show how the package lintian is causing apt to want to remove ultimate edition all together. I now have that same issue with package qemu-kvm as shown:
Now my reasoning for wanting to remove qemu-kvm is that it is not playing nice with virtualbox. I have attached a screenshot of that error from vbox. So this tells me that somehow kvm and virtualbox cannot coexist together in my current setup which is why i wanted to try removing kvm.
Current kvm packages installed include:
qemu-kvm
libvirt-bin
ubuntu-vm-builder
bridge-utils
virt-viewer
Virtualbox error:
So the end result is:
1. How are these packages so tied into Ultimate Edition that that cannot be individually removed?? (lintian & qemu-kvm, and probably more)
2. How to make all play nice (unless i just messed something up)
