Bug Description
Because the machine has not upgraded from 15.04 to 15.10, in response to:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..., based on this: http://
sudo apt-get install linux-generic ...which failed. The machine in question has a Pentium M that does not report pae capability (not sure why that should matter on a machine with 2 GB of RAM, but 15.04 runs on the machine. Installation errors reported during the process:
This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU.
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/
subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
...and then at the end of the process:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I'll reboot and see if the installation really failed or not, and if it did, I'll try running dpkg on the archive with the error using the --force option and see what happens...
