Bug#838739: linux-image-amd64: meta depends on image not available
Hi,
We have also noticed this on our newly built Debian Jessie machines.
Example:
# apt-get install -t jessie-backports linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-amd64 : Depends: linux-headers-4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 but
it is not installable
linux-image-amd64 : Depends: linux-image-4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 but it is
not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
When looking at the meta packages 'linux-image-amd64' and
'linux-headers-amd64' we can see that the package's they depend on shows
up as "Package not available".
