[Joshua R. Poulson (jrp)]

When installing packages with a wildcard like this you are going to run into conflicts with different tools packages that were made for different kernels. You should pick the tools package that matches your kernel stream.

[Joshua R. Poulson (jrp)]

Also, linux-azure-edge will change to 4.15 soon and this conflict is likely to go away then. It is not guaranteed that azure and azure-edge won't have the same kernel at the same time.
