[Bug 1437396] [NEW] linux-generic package missing, kernels not updating

 

Public bug reported:

Today I realized that although I've been performing 'apt-get update' and
'apt-get dist-upgrade' on this machine, the kernel package had not
updated since  3.13.0-39

Investigation revealed that the linux-generic package was not installed,
although I have not explicitly uninstalled the package.

I reinstalled linux-generic, and the dependencies caused new kernel
packages to be installed, and it appears that I'm back to normal.
