I have created Bug 1907814 to complain about apport refusing to report bugs about unknown updates with an unhelpful message.
I believe these remain two separate concerns: a) Retracting security upgrades on purpose after releasing them to non-proposed channels needs a better workflow, reverting in a lower version number is probably entirely unnecessary for smooth upgrades. b) Apport should still be improved even if this is never done on purpose again, because there are other reasons a Package might vanish (outdated mirrors I guess) which apport should be failing gracefully about. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1907761 Title: vanishing kernel 5.4.0-56-generic Status in linux-meta package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Kernel version 5.4.0-56-generic has just vanished off the face of the earth, after an update to that version some days ago. This was not updated from "proposed" or anything like that, it was updated in the normal way from "focal-updates". I had to revert several systems to kernel version 5.4.0-54-generic, after apt reported that my installed 5.4.0-56-generic packages were foreign, unknown and unaccounted-for. Have you lost your damn minds? By all means issue a fix for this outrageous situation.
