[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1820755] Re: Netboot install fails due to linux-image-4.4.0-143-generic.postinst linux-update-symlinks not found

Thanks for the tip, dpfankuchen! We use kickstarts with a few preseed options. Your suggestion helped but installs still die. "Helped" == deployments now fetch a bunch of 4.4.0-142 packages, but ultimately still fetch linux-image-4.4.0-143* which causes them to die with the same errors quoted

Downgrading to 4.4.0-142 on your install mirror for new deployments sounds viable but does not seem trivial. Simply removing linux-image-4.4.0-143 from our local mirror did not cause the installer to revert to 4.4.0-142. I guess you'd be looking at rebuilding a special set of package indices

Same problem here. "d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-image-4.4.0-142-generic" did not work for us. The installer continued to fetch 4.4.0-143. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-base in Ubuntu.

Ditto. Netinstalls are broken and the installer ignored the suggested workaround in our kickstart: preseed d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux- image-4.4.0-142-generic See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-base/+bug/1820755

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1820366] Re: network install of xenial 16.04 fails with linux-generic package error

We deploy Ubuntu exclusively via netinstall so this has brought deployments across our entire organization to a standstill. Adding preseed d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux- image-4.4.0-142-generic to our kickstart did not help; the installer continued to fetch the 4.4.0-143
