Why a conflict instead of a 'Depends:' ?
+Conflicts: flash-kernel (<< 3.0~rc.4ubuntu64) [arm64]

Nor should it - many systems (e.g. UEFI) don't need it. What this is saying is, "if you require flash-kernel, it needs to be at least this version". -dann

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384955 Building a 4.8-rc3+ kernel with the current Ubuntu config produces an image too large for X-Gene/U-Boot systems. The compressed Image is about 1/3 the size of the uncompressed Image, so switching to that will resolve the issue with some growing room. And, obviously, it'll save disk space on all arm64 platforms. UEFI can handle the compressed image just fine. xgene-uboot systems (Mustang/McDivitt) can as well, as long as the uImage header has the correct compression flags. Until recently, this was not the case. uImages were always generated w/ compression=none flag. However, both flash-kernel and debian-installer in yakkety have recently been updated to dynamically detect the compression type and set the uImage flag correctly. After some bake time, I plan to SRU that back into xenial to be ready for hwe kernels. The following changes since commit 7b77e0d5f133eddf7da7e042dbd4b91fbdb25a6c: UBUNTU: [Config] CONFIG_ARCH_ROCKCHIP=y for arm64 (2016-08-25 09:02:50 -0600) are available in the git repository at: git://git.launchpad.net/~dannf/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/yakkety arm64-zimage for you to fetch changes up to ac7a01f271a4da2092735a0fe2308d3f5e41617a: UBUNTU: [Config] Switch to compressed Image on arm64 (2016-08-29 09:40:11 -0600) ---------------------------------------------------------------- dann frazier (1): UBUNTU: [Config] Switch to compressed Image on arm64 debian.master/control.d/flavour-control.stub | 1 + debian.master/rules.d/arm64.mk | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
