Stefan Bader was able to reproduce this kernel oops using the server ISO. John Johansen was pretty sure the oops was related to Apparmor. Merging the latest Apparmor fixes that were coincidentally staged for the next upload appears to have corrected the problem. My testing has had positive results. Look for these fixes in linux 4.4.0-9.24.

Today it's the kernel :) Oddly I have reproduced this on several machines. Simply fire up aptitude, go to "Installed" packages, hit Shift-L to reinstall, then g and g again to kick it off. When I get to bind9 I reliably see this: Feb 27 17:15:18 maas named[35942]: exiting Feb 27 17:15:18 maas named[35942]: ../../../lib/isc/mem.c:1229: REQUIRE(ctx->references == 1) failed Feb 27 17:15:19 maas kernel: [ 1422.530027] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Feb 27 17:15:19 maas kernel: [ 1422.535184] kernel BUG at /build/linux-WmE1Ft/linux-4.4.0/kernel/cred.c:431!
