[Bug 1168320] [NEW] Unmet dependencies for linux-server causes Raring server installation failures (20130412)

[Parameswaran Sivatharman]

Public bug reported:

The following error occurs in Raring server installations with 20130412
images of both amd64 and i386 with default installations.

Apr 12 08:19:25 in-target: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Apr 12 08:19:25 in-target:  linux-server : Depends: linux-generic (= 3.8.0.17.33) but it is not going to be installed
Apr 12 08:19:25 in-target: E
Apr 12 08:19:25 in-target: : 
Apr 12 08:19:25 in-target: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Apr 12 08:19:25 debconf: <-- 0 question will be asked
Apr 12 08:19:25 debconf: --> GO

The impacted jobs are,
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Raring/view/Smoke%20Testing/job/raring-server-amd64-smoke-default/169/
and
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Raring/view/Smoke%20Testing/job/raring-server-i386-smoke-default/172/

This is apparently due to the mismatch of the kernel version in the
archive and that in the d-i due to the timing of the kernel upload. I,
however, assumed there was a solution for this temporary timing issue.
Nevertheless, the bug is reported to account for the above failures.

I could close the bug when the new images appear with the matching
versions.
