[Bug 1893491] Re: groovy arm64 raspi: Unsupported platform. dpkg: error processing package flash-kernel (--configure):

[Dave Jones]

I suspect this was down to one of the newer revisions of the Pi board
(the rev 1.4 4B?) appearing during the cycle.

This was fixed at some point during the Groovy release though, firstly
by adding the explicit "rev 1.4" entry, and later by adding the
"Raspberry Pi *" wildcard entry (in 3.100ubuntu3). I'll set this to "Fix
Released" but if you're still having the issue, please do set it back to
"New" and I'll dig into it.

** Changed in: flash-kernel (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
