This is not a problem with linux-firmware itself, it does is trigger a rebuild of the initrd for all installed kernels but it's initramfs-tools which does this. It will try to generate an initrd for all kernels with a file in /var/lib/initramfs-tools, so it sounds like you have a file there for that kernel but no corresponding directory for that kernel in /lib/modules.
Changing this bug report to be against initramfs-tools. ** Package changed: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) => initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773476 Title: linux-firmware 1.157.19 attempts to generate /boot/initrd.img-4.8.0-56, /boot/initrd.img-4.8.0 when no corresponding vmlinuz present To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1773476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
