The thing is: In the previous version, flash-kernel ignored if mkimage was missing and just continued normally without throwing any error or even showing any warning. Which is the behaviour I'd prefer.
The new version aborts and throws an error although there's no need to run mkimage on my system (a Raspberry Pi with somewhat recent firmware can boot the Linux kernel directly without the need for uboot). In my eyes this is a newly introduced bug. Especially if flash-kernel doesn't run properly with a "recommended" package missing. The image I'm using is the Ubuntu arm64 one - but I got rid of u-boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811984 Title: flash-kernel 3.90ubuntu3.18.10.1 fails with mkimage: not found if no uboot is used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-kernel/+bug/1811984/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
