[Bug 1508157] Re: Kernel not upgraded during Vivid -> Wily upgrade

[Brian Murray]

Bug 1470577 is another case of the upgraded kernel being considered an
"Unused dependency", however in that upgrade there were a plethora of
issues contacting the mirror. This is something we don't see in this
bug.

Bug 1315978 is another case of the upgraded kernel being considered an
"Unused dependency", but there is nothing to indicate why in the log
files.

Title:
  Kernel not upgraded during Vivid -> Wily upgrade

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Looking at /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log it actually appears that
  the Wily kernel was purged because I was using a proprietary graphics
  driver:
