Description Vasilis Lourdas 2009-05-04 12:32:27 UTC

I upgraded yesterday to the recent version of microcode-data. However, on next boot, the microcode_ctl service could not start because of a missing file. After upgrading to the latest testing version, the service started fine.

I suggest that the microcode-data ebuild depends on the testing microcode-ctl-1.17-r2, because it could confuse users.

you cant depend on it because microcode-ctl already depends on microcode-data.  circular dependencies dont work.

microcode-data-20100209 now has the blocker
