[Bug 1917903] Re: Kernel flavors specified that aren't in Ubuntu

[Dave Jones]

This was fixed by @vorlon in 3.106ubuntu4 which unconditionally remaps
the "armmp" flavor in all.db to "generic":

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

Title:
  Kernel flavors specified that aren't in Ubuntu

Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Each entry in the flash-kernel database specifies which kernel flavors
  are applicable for each machine type. Upstream (Debian) has separate
  flavors for it's 32-bit ('armmp' and 'armmp-lpae') and 64-bit
  ('arm64') ARM kernels, while Ubuntu uses the 'generic' (and 'generic-
  lpae') kernel flavors. This causes a failure during dpkg install, as
  flash-kernel is unable to find the correct kernel and errors out.
  There's also kernel flavors mentioned in the flash-kernel database
  that don't have an equivalent in Ubuntu (ex: mx5, exynos5, keystone).

  As far as a concrete bug:
  flash-kernel on Ubuntu fails to install cleanly on BeagleBone Black with the 'generic' kernel flavor installed. A workaround is to add an override in /etc/flash-kernel/db that specifies the 'generic' kernel flavor as allowed:

  Machine: TI AM335x BeagleBone
  Machine: TI AM335x BeagleBone Black
  Kernel-Flavors: generic
  DTB-Id: am335x-boneblack.dtb
  Boot-Script-Path: /boot/boot.scr
  U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.beaglebone
  Required-Packages: u-boot-tools
