I can fix this by downloading the package for the current bleeding-edge version for Xenial and install it manually with dpkg. That package (intel-microcode_3.20151106.1_amd64.deb) can be simply pushed into the 14.04 repositories and have the issue fixed.
In my opinion the same problem applies to AMD CPU microcode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540969 Title: package contents is outdated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1540969/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
