[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1766851] Re: Missing `linux-update-symlinks` causes Linux package installation to fail
Related to #1820755 - although the new linux-base is now available in xenial-updates, the kernel packages do not version their depends to demand the new version, so apt-get will not necessarily install it (which causes base-installer to fail, since debootstrap will not have upgraded from xenial-updates prior to installing base- installer/kernel/image, and will not upgrade when the linux-image- generic Depends are already satisfied) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-base in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766851 Title: Missing `linux-update-symlinks` causes Linux package installation to fail Status in linux-base package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, the installation of Linux 4.17-rc2 from [1] fails because `linux-update-symlinks` is not available.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1766851] Re: Missing `linux-update-symlinks` causes Linux package installation to fail
I'm also seeing this, when attempting to provision a vagrant box with 16.04. I have, in my Vagrantfile: ``` config.vm.box_url = 'https://app.vagrantup.com/bento/boxes/ubuntu-16.04/versions/2.3.1/providers/virtualbox.box' ``` And I see the error during `vagrant up --provision`: ``` ...

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1766851] Re: Missing `linux-update-symlinks` causes Linux package installation to fail
Same problem with Kernel 4.14.36: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v4.14.36/ Also I would suspect (but cannot confirm) that Kernel 4.16.4 will suffer the same fate. For the first time all three of these kernels (including OP's 4.17-rc2) deviated from history where there were three `.deb` files: headers-all, headers, linux-image (aka image_unsigned). A fourth `.deb` was introduced called: ` linux- modules-4.14.36-041436-generic_4.14.36-041436.201804240906_amd64.deb` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-base in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766851 Title: Missing `linux-update-symlinks` causes Linux package installation to fail Status in linux-base package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, the installation of Linux 4.17-rc2 from [1] fails because `linux-update-symlinks` is not available.
