[Steve Langasek]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted amd64-microcode into bionic-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amd64-microcode/3.20181128.1~ubuntu0.18.04.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

   * New microcode is available

  [Test Case]

   * There is no testcase for new microcode, as it is unknown what has
  changed.

   * New microcode is published without a changelog, thus it is unknown what it fixes or regresses,
     yet it is recommeded to upgrade it. The 17h family microcode has been updated, almost doubling in size.
