[Bug 1746807] Re: 18.04 daily installer fails missing kernel

[Jb]

Only one package needs to be downgraded for apt-cdrom to work again: libapt-pkg5.0 to version: libapt-pkg5.0_1.6~alpha5

http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.6~alpha7ubuntu1/changelog

Links used for testing:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/353920547/libapt-pkg5.0_1.6~alpha7_amd64.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/353116448/libapt-pkg5.0_1.6~alpha6_amd64.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/345537288/libapt-pkg5.0_1.6~alpha5_amd64.deb

For each ... I manually "dpkg -i" and then ran "apt-cdrom add".

Results:
libapt-pkg5.0_1.6~alpha7ubuntu1 = fails <-- stock Bionic 20180216 
libapt-pkg5.0_1.6~alpha7ubuntu = fails
libapt-pkg5.0_1.6~alpha6 = fails
libapt-pkg5.0_1.6~alpha5 = works  <-- Bionic 20180131

Title:
  18.04 daily installer fails missing kernel

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  "No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources.

  You may try to continue without a kernel, and manually install your own kernel later.
  This is only recommended for experts, otherwise you will likely end up with a machine
  that doesn't boot.

  Continue without installing a kernel."
