This maybe being experienced by a number of end-users, I've now seen support requests (eg. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1475121/broken- linux-generic-or-linux-headers-generic-dependencies on an Server install being just one) ; but that's (my) opinion/suspicion only.
another (non-install this time) being https://askubuntu.com/questions/1475132/linux-image-5-15-0-76-generic- not-installing-due-to-missing-packages-on-ubuntu-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2025192 Title: broken installation while mirror syncing new kernel packages Status in linux-meta package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A new kernel package for jammy was released 3 hours ago. It is probably being synced to mirrors right now. It can be seen at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta: 5.15.0.76.74 updates (main) 3 hours ago A little before that, I was deploying 10 Jammy machines in maas, without any problem. After that, I started having all 10 machines fail deployment. The reason is that curtin will fail package updates (complete log attached). This is the important part: ==========================================8<--------------------------------------------------- Running command ['unshare', '--fork', '--pid', '--', 'chroot', '/tmp/tmp_24ek5y0/target', 'eatmydata', 'apt-get', '--quiet', '--assume-yes', '--option=Dpkg::options::=--force-unsafe-io', '--option=Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold', 'install', 'linux-generic'] with allowed return codes [0] (capture=False) Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-headers-generic : Depends: linux-headers-5.15.0-76-generic but it is not installable linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-5.15.0-76-generic but it is not going to be installed Depends: linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-76-generic but it is not installable Recommends: thermald but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ==========================================8<--------------------------------------------------- The repository being used is "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main" It may be the case that there is still a partial mirror there, but it should not break and instead just use the latest available version while the new one is not completely avalable. I'm not sure this is only valid for linux kernel packages (maybe this is a general problem with any package) but I'm opening to linux-meta since it happened with linux in this case.
