Public bug reported:
Hi,
we run a automated pipeline which automatically installs ubuntu 16.04 by
pxe / netinstall.
This pipeline stopped working tonight, so I did some research.
Looks like linux-generic depends on linux-base, but requires a
tool/script which was added in 4.1 (linux-update-symlinks).
packages.ubuntu.com only shows linux-base 4.5, but if I take a look into
the packages.gz of <mirror>/ubuntu/ there is still a 4.0 available.
So somehow(tm) it seems netinstall is installing the 4.0 version of
linux-base instead of the required 4.5 (4.1+).
In my opinion if a pkg needs a feature which is only available in a
newer version of a pkg, this pkg should be a depend, so linux-generic
should depend on linux-base >= 4.1 instead of just depend on linux-base.
I workarounded the problem by installing the hwe-kernel which has a
correct dependency on linux-base 4.5.
