            Bug ID: 110968
           Summary: Allow ubuntu users to install on other ubuntu versions
           Product: DRI
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: medium
         Component: DRM/AMDgpu-pro
          Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ashark@linuxcomp.ru

19.20-812932 release for Ubuntu

In amdgpu-core package there is a preinst script which checks a distribution
version. If it is not Ubuntu, it allows installation with warning. But if it
detects it is another version of Ubuntu, it declines installation.

Why not just let users to install and just warn them that they are using
unsupported version? Anyway, users may modify a package with my script, that I
attached to this bug report:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110795

Also installation denial of this single package causes a big trouble for those
who tried to use installer script. You can see in that bug report that another
user was in situation with a lot of broken packages. I also was in such
situation and did not know how to recover from that state. Later I have
prepared a script to remove everything from amdgpu-pro (also attached there).

But really, if you still want to stop ubuntu users, then why do not edit
installer, so it goes to install only amdgpu-core first (without its
dependencies), and only after that it goes to install all other packages that
are returned by build_package_list? Or just make distribution check in
installer script rather than in package scriptlet.

Ubuntu packaging issue; this needs to be reported to Ubuntu instead.

This is not a Ubuntu issue, we do this purposely.

Let me discuss internally and I can try to get a better solution.

--- Comment #4 from Jeremy Newton <Jeremy.Newton@amd.com> ---
I pushed a fix to move the check to the postinstall script of the pin file,
should be easy to comment out installing that package in the script (not really
required for install).

I'm not sure when the driver will be updated externally with this fix.
