[Bug 1663622] Re: package linux-firmware 1.161.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Simon Quigley]

Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage.

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04?

** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Incomplete
