Public bug reported:
The new version 4.13.0.19 of Linux-signed-image and linux-image-generic
seem to have a sependency conflict/version mismatch on UEFI systems,
which causes linux-signed-image to try to self-uninstall.
Seems unsafe, because this would take away the Ubuntu UEFI signing
certificate from the boot sector, potentially rendering the system
unbootable, popping error messages or creating a security breach.
Upon updating, the new kernel version should update / replace the UEFI
keys in place, and no stuff should be deleted unless explicitly asked
for.

Have locked the version of kernel to 4.13.0.18 in Synaptic for now to
prevent any auto-upgrading from breaking stuff.
