[Bug 1980519] [NEW] flash-kernel fails on QEMU

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Public bug reported:

http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/kinetic/current/kinetic-server-cloudimg-
riscv64.img contains package flash-kernel. When running on QEMU updating
the initramfs leads to an error:


Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.140ubuntu13) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.17.0-1003-starfive
Unsupported platform 'riscv-virtio,qemu'.
run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//flash-kernel exited with return code 1
dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):
 installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 initramfs-tools
needrestart is being skipped since dpkg has failed


Either flash-kernel should be removed from the image or flash kernel should be changed to ignore the unsupported platform.

Patching flash-kernel seems preferable.
