Description

This issue was originally filed by @jbicha in https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-mir/issues/83

Request

The binaries from broadcom-sta are in restricted but have Recommends: module-assistant while module-assistant is in universe.

The component-mismatches reports do not warn about this.

Replies in thread

  • cpaelzer: We acknowledge the problem, my gut feeling is because of "restricted". But this needs someone with time to debug. Hope to find someone in future MIR meetings, today no one raised a hand :-/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the component mismatches tool to find why it does not warn about restricted packages. Check the code that compares components and see if restricted is excluded.
