[Bug 1841955] Re: Can't upgrade kernel on raspberry pi3a+

[Brian Murray]

The test case calls out using an 18.04 image. Will the same test work
with the 19.10 image? Either way please update the test case so this
also applies to 19.10.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Can't upgrade kernel on raspberry pi3a+. Without this, users can be
  stuck with old kernels.

  [Test Case]

  1. dd the image in an SD card:
     http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server-armhf+raspi3.img.xz
  2. Boot rpi3a+ with the sd card
  3. Upgrade the kernel using following command:
     sudo apt update
     sudo apt install linux-raspi2
  4. Check output message

  Expected Result
  Current stable kernel(4.15.0-1043-raspi2) is installed.

  Actual Result
  Error shows up during the installation, and the kernel is still the original one after reboot.

  [Regression Potential]

  None. The bugfix for this change is only adding the missing db/all.db
  Pi3A+ entry to flash-kernel.
