linux-headers-3.2.0-105 not in precise-security

[vdloo]

I noticed that linux-headers-3.2.0-105 is not in precise-security.

> Package not available
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/devel/linux-headers-3.2.0-105-generic

Looks like it was published but then removed again: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/linux-headers-3.2.0-105-generic

Are the headers not always in the security repo if the image is? http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-image-3.2.0-105-generic

For previous generic kernels like 3.2.0-102 and 3.2.0-104 the headers are in precise-security as well instead of only in precise-update.

See http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-headers-3.2.0-102-generic and http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-headers-3.2.0-104-generic

I ran into this trying to install the virtualbox guest additions into a precise64 Vagrant with a 3.2.0-105 kernel. The guest plugin tries to install the latest headers like 'linux-headers-`uname -r`'

see https://github.com/dotless-de/vagrant-vbguest/blob/d36ba2e4ae00577b4169bf1336a6a3264277c1e7/lib/vagrant-vbguest/installers/debian.rb#L31

this fails because the box I am using has precise-security in the sources.list but not precise-update.

I submitted a question about this and was suggested to create a bugreport: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+question/295780

Hi,

- I confirm the above issue in our production servers which are configured to update their packages only from a local mirror of the security pocket with unattended-upgrades. They cannot upgrade the linux kernel to version 3.2.0-105 because the linux-headers-3.2.0-105 package is missing in the security pocket.

- Usually, the kernel upgrades work well with our local mirror of the security pocket with unattended-upgrades.

- Aptitude also report this error :

[root@######## ~]# aptitude dist-upgrade
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  linux-headers-3.2.0-105-generic{ab} linux-image-3.2.0-105-generic
The following packages will be upgraded:
  linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
3 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 39.8 MB of archives. After unpacking 162 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-headers-3.2.0-105-generic : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-105 which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:
1) linux-generic
2) linux-headers-generic

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
3) linux-headers-3.2.0-105-generic [Not Installed]

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies.
Abort.

- Finally, we also cannot install any new server (preseed) because of this missing dependancy.

This affects me as well when trying to install a new preseeded server. Are there any plans to bring linux-headers-3.2.0-105 back into the security pocket?

[c_t (chefturner)]

I was able to work around this issue in the preseed.cfg for now by directly selecting a HWE kernel:

-d-i base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-server
+d-i base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-generic-lts-trusty

While this might not be what everyone wants it is a viable workaround for me at the moment.
