Yes, often. Especially when a given ABI is "popular" (aka default quick launch in clouds, point release download media, certified, and similar). Also Canonical Support & Livepatch mostly work with out-of-date reports too. As generally the desire is for the kernel they are going to reboot into, fix a specific problem, rather than rebooting to the newest one to still discover that the issue at hand is not fixed. > The general policy for apport is to disallow bug report submissions if the > executable or any of the loaded libraries are from out-of-date packages. > > But it will still be possible to download these older packages from > Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory As mentioned elsewhere pull-pkg (and friends pull-lp-debs / pull-lp-ddebs ) are very useful tools to quickly & securely download desired packages from launchpad librarian. -- okurrr, Dimitri -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
