Public bug reported: Because the machine has not upgraded from 15.04 to 15.10, in response to: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..., based on this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/689358/ubuntu-kernel-not-updating-with-15-10 ...I executed: sudo apt-get install linux-generic ...which failed. The machine in question has a Pentium M that does not report pae capability (not sure why that should matter on a machine with 2 GB of RAM, but 15.04 runs on the machine.
