[Bug 1318951] Re: kernel update to 3.13.0-24.47 fails
I was able to make the package Install by removing the following files:
* /boot/config-3.13.0-24-generic
* /boot/System.map-3.13.0-24-generic
* /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic
* /boot/abi-3.13.0-24-generic
And then apt-get upgrade -f
This way the package doesn't try to backup the files and the
installation works fine. But this is only a workaround, not a fix.
However I can't provide any further information about this bug because
after having installed the new kernel, the initramfs doesn't seem to
setup my encrypted root filesystem anymore and the boot fails, so I
decided to give up and install Ubuntu again from scratch ( or not at all
as I was just testing it out. A selfdestroying LTS release isn't exactly
something that I need ).

Title:
kernel update to 3.13.0-24.47 fails
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
My latest system upgrade failed because it can't upgrade the kernel:
$sudo env LANGUAGE=en_US apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-signed-image-3.13.0-24-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic (= 3.13.0-24.47) but 3.13.0-24.46 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
When trying to install linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic manually it fails
because it can't create a backup link for the old kernel. This really
doesn't surprise me, because /boot is on a fat32 filesystem ( EFI
System Partition ) so it shouldn't be possible to create any links at
all.
My fstab entries for boot are as follows:
UUID=0E1E-3E58 /mnt/efi vfat defaults 0 2
/mnt/efi/ubuntu /boot none bind 0 0
Here is the output of me trying to install the kernel manually:
$sudo env LANGUAGE=en_US apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
efibootmgr secureboot-db shim
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Suggested packages:
fdutils linux-doc-3.13.0 linux-source-3.13.0 linux-tools
Recommended packages:
grub-pc grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-ia32 grub lilo
