Bug ID: 110962 Summary: Wrong dependencies cause force dependency on amdgpu-dkms Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: medium Component: DRM/AMDgpu-pro Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: ashark@linuxcomp.ru
19.20-812932 release for Ubuntu
amdgpu-pro(-hwe) and amdgpu-pro-lib32 depend on amdgpu(-hwe), but actually they should depend on amdgpu-lib(-hwe) (just like open variant packages). Because of that even when running installer with --no-dkms, it still is in packages list (because amdgpu(-hwe) depends on it). Is it intentional or just a mistake? I think this is a mistake, because if you want force dependency on amdgpu-dkms with pro stack, you would make all other checks in amdgpu installer script. But because user giver "--no-dkms", such checks are skipped there.
Also, I was repacking amdgpu-pro packages (ubuntu archive) to Arch Linux. Am I correct, that amdgpu-dkms package was made with Ubuntu LTS slowness in mind, and is absolutely unneeded for Arch Linux? Am I right that I do not loose any functionality abilities (maybe that allows you to watch gpu's load, like wattman) even for pro stack if I omit amdgpu-dkms?
