Bug Description
For a period of 6 hours, Lucid netboot installs were broken, because the kernel installation would use one of the linux-meta packages for kernel installation, but they depended on kernels which were not yet published. This can be seen if you compare the publish time of 2.6.32.24.25 on https:/
This has already been resolved, in the sense that the dependent packages are now present, but I'd like to make sure something is done to prevent the linux-meta packages being pushed before the kernels they depend on in the future. It breaks netboot installs, and can easily be prevented.
