** Description changed: + [Impact] + Some upgrades from xenial to bionic break. + + [Test Case] + Change sources.list from xenial to bionic, then apt install linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic. + + [Regression Potential] + The kernel may be uninstallable if there is no linux-base with the appropriate version in the archive. + + ---- + When installing the linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic kernel from bionic on xenial breaks because of the unversioned Depends on linux-base. /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic.postinst: 50: /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic.postinst: linux-update-symlinks: not found dpkg: error processing package linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic (--configure): - subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 + subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: - linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic + linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) If the trigger is called, when some meta packages are installed, it won't happen. If all packages are upgraded, it's possible linux-base is going to be upgraded first, so the problem won't happen either. So, not all upgrades will be affected.
