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.

status: | New → Confirmed |
affects: | linux-meta (Ubuntu) → linux (Ubuntu) |
Closing this bug with Won't fix as this kernel / release is no longer supported.
Please feel free to open a new bug report if you're still experiencing this on a newer release (Bionic 18.04.3 / Disco 19.04)
Thanks!
