Status in pkg-website: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hey all! We're running Ubuntu 14.04. We recently pulled in a new version of the kernel (looks like 3.13.0-166 was just released to address a security vulnerability: https://usn.ubuntu.com/3908-1/). Some of our scripts install the `linux-image-extra-*` package corresponding to the current kernel version (so in this case, 3.13.0-166-generic). However, it looks like there is no `linux-image- extra-3.13.0-166-generic` package: ``` $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache policy linux-image-extra-3.13.0-166 ... Reading package lists... Done N: Unable to locate package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-166 N: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-image-extra-3.13.0-166' ``` I do still see a version 165 version of this package: ``` $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache policy linux-image-extra-3.13.0-165 ... Reading package lists... Done linux-image-extra-3.13.0-165-generic: Installed: (none) Candidate: 3.13.0-165.215 Version table: 3.13.0-165.215 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages ``` What's interesting is that I do now see a `linux-modules-*` for 166, something that doesn't seem to exist for any old 14.04 kernels: ``` $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache policy linux-module-3.13.0-166 ... Reading package lists... Done linux-modules-3.13.0-166-generic: Installed: 3.13.0-166.216 Candidate: 3.13.0-166.216 Version table: *** 3.13.0-166.216 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status linux-modules-3.13.0-166-lowlatency: Installed: (none) Candidate: 3.13.0-166.216 Version table: 3.13.0-166.216 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages ``` If you look at https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=trusty- updates§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=linux-modules&searchon=names, you can see that 166 is the *only* kernel version for this package (except for some -azure stuff that I don't know anything about). This is a stark contrast to https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite =trusty-updates§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=linux-image- extra&searchon=names, where you can see lots of versions of this package for all kernels up to 165 (but not including 166). Is it possible that linux-image-extra-* was renamed to linux-modules-* in later versions of Ubuntu, and the naming got mixed up while backporting https://usn.ubuntu.com/3908-1/ to Ubuntu 14.04?
