[Aptitude-devel] Bug#916927: aptitude: should consistently choose between signed and unsigned kernels

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.11-6
Severity: normal

After an upgrade of linux-image-amd64, which now depends on
linux-image-4.19.0-1-amd64, on one machine I got:

  linux-image-4.19.0-1-amd64 4.19.9-1

but on another machine I got:

  linux-image-4.19.0-1-amd64-unsigned 4.19.9-1

while only signed kernels were installed until now (on both machines).
This is not consistent.

But the issue may also be with linux-latest, which doesn't provide
different meta-packages for signed and unsigned kernels.
