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, tha=

attached to this bug report:

Also installation denial of this single package causes a big trouble for th=
ose
who tried to use installer script. You can see in that bug report that anot=
her
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 th=
at
are returned by build_package_list? Or just make distribution check in
installer script rather than in package scriptlet.
