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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
