Comment 30 for bug 1737423

Hello

The answer of the question "Can you try v4.17-rc3?" is NO because

v4.17-rc3 i386 not available

v4.17-rc4 i386 impossible to install and very difficult to remove to be able to go futher

     in file /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-4.17.0-041700rc4-generic.prerm

     had to comment out #linux-check-removal $version

v4.17-rc5 i386 got dependecy problem

    linux-base (>=4.5ubuntu1~16.04.1)

Regards

Jean COLIN
