Seth - you are a star - thank you so much. I would never have guessed that an AV system (Sophos) could, without reporting any virus detection or other issue, prevent installation on one system whilst the same version does not prevent it on another. Suffice to say that disabling on-access scanning for the duration of installation fixed the problem.
Very weird indeed. So, as a matter of protocol, do I close this as 'not a bug' or is that up to someone from ubuntu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696132 Title: package linux-headers-4.10.0-22-generic 4.10.0-22.24 failed to install/upgrade: unable to open '/usr/src/linux- headers-4.10.0-22-generic/include/config/dw/dmac/core.h.dpkg-new': Operation not permitted Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I was trying to install 4.10.0-22 to fix #1674838 on the one system I have that had a problem with the previous kernels.
