[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1318951] Re: kernel update to 3.13.0-24.47 fails
Potential workaround that seems to have worked for an 3.2.0-61.92 to 3.2.0-61.93 upgrade on precide with /boot on a FAT32 partition: Boot into a previous kernel version, uninstall the -61.92 kernel, and install -61.93 kernel from scratch.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1318951] Re: kernel update to 3.13.0-24.47 fails
I was able to make the package Install by removing the following files: * /boot/config-3.13.0-24-generic * /boot/System.map-3.13.0-24-generic * /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic * /boot/abi-3.13.0-24-generic And then apt-get upgrade -f This way the package doesn't try to backup the files and the installation works fine. But this is only a workaround, not a fix. However I can't provide any further information about this bug because after having installed the new kernel, the initramfs doesn't seem to setup my encrypted root filesystem anymore and the boot fails, so I decided to give up and install Ubuntu again from scratch ( or not at all as I was just testing it out. A selfdestroying LTS release isn't exactly something that I need ). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1318951 Title: kernel update to 3.13.0-24.47 fails Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My latest system upgrade failed because it can't upgrade the kernel: $sudo env LANGUAGE=en_US apt-get upgrade Reading package lists...

Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-signed-image-3.13.0-24-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic (= 3.13.0-24.47) but 3.13.0-24.46 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. When trying to install linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic manually it fails because it can't create a backup link for the old kernel. This really doesn't surprise me, because /boot is on a fat32 filesystem ( EFI System Partition )
