Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  Linux-image package won't install automatically during update/upgrade

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This problem started in Ubuntu 14.04. Linux-header gets installed
  automatically but linux-image doesn't. I always have to install it
  manually. Today I upgraded to 14.10 and to 15.05 right after that but
  the kernel stayed at version 3.13 because only linux-header got
  installed. I had to install 3.19 manually. Linux-image-extra also has
  to be installed manually.

  This might be a security problem too becuase the user might think that he's using the latest/safest kernel but he's not.
  There are no error messages anywhere.
