Public bug reported: The new version 4.13.0.19 of Linux-signed-image and linux-image-generic seem to have a sependency conflict/version mismatch on UEFI systems, which causes linux-signed-image to try to self-uninstall.
Seems unsafe, because this would take away the Ubuntu UEFI signing certificate from the boot sector, potentially rendering the system unbootable, popping error messages or creating a security breach. Upon updating, the new kernel version should update / replace the UEFI keys in place, and no stuff should be deleted unless explicitly asked for. ******technical data***** Ubuntu 17.10 with proposed updates enabled, current 05/12/17. linux-signed-generic: Installé : 4.13.0.18.19 Candidat : 4.13.0.19.20 Table de version : 4.13.0.19.20 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-proposed/main amd64 Packages *** 4.13.0.18.19 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.13.0.17.18 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-security/main amd64 Packages 4.13.0.16.17 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages Have locked the version of kernel to 4.13.0.18 in Synaptic for now to prevent any auto-upgrading from breaking stuff.
