Public bug reported: I can't upgrade linux-image-extra-virtual-hwe-18.04 to the latest version because linux-modules-extra-hwe-18.04 can't be installed:
# apt install --upgrade linux-image-extra-virtual-hwe-18.04 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-image-extra-virtual-hwe-18.04 : Depends: linux-modules-extra-hwe-18.04 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Since commit af5f4e91 in linux-meta-hwe, linux-image-extra-virtual-hwe-18.04 is defined like this: Package: linux-image-extra-virtual-hwe-18.04 Architecture: i386 amd64 arm64 ppc64el s390x Section: kernel Depends: ${misc:Depends}, linux-virtual-hwe-18.04, linux-modules-extra-hwe-18.04, Description: Full Generic Linux kernel and headers for virtual instances This package will always depend on linux-virtual-hwe-18.04 and linux-modules-extra-virtual-hwe-18.04. The linux-modules-extra-hwe-18.04 listed in the Depends section does not exist in the debian/control, it should probably be linux-modules-extra- virtual-hwe-18.04 as written in the description. The same should apply to linux-image-virtual-hwe-18.04-edge.
