Unmet dependencies for linux-server causes Raring server installation failures (20130412)

[Para Siva]

The following error occurs in Raring server installations with 20130412 images of both amd64 and i386 with default installations.

Apr 12 08:19:25 in-target: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Apr 12 08:19:25 in-target: linux-server : Depends: linux-generic (= 3.8.0.17.33) but it is not going to be installed

This is apparently due to the mismatch of the kernel version in the archive and that in the d-i due to the timing of the kernel upload. I, however, assumed there was a solution for this temporary timing issue. Nevertheless, the bug is reported to account for the above failures.

I could close the bug when the new images appear with the matching versions.

20130412.1 has this issue fixed. Closing the bug. Thanks
