My statements were about bionic-proposed, as stated in the OP.JeremyB wrote: ⤴Fri Jul 13, 2018 6:04 pm So gm10 was the 4.15.0-28 kernel a dependency of package linux-generic or linux-image-generic at the time with bionic-proposed. Or was it in linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 or linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge in xenial-proposed? Ubuntu does kernel updates differently than Linux Mint, most Mint users may just have linux-kernel-generic installed for a kernel meta package.
I don't understand what you mean by "Ubuntu does kernel updates differently than Linux Mint". We get all kernel updates directly from Ubuntu, so we are doing it exactly like they do. The only distribution specific kernel meta package we have is linux-kernel-generic, the only use of which is to provide the release kernel, it receives no updates.
