Hi all,
I want to install docker on Ubuntu 16.04 and I am following the instructions from here:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/insta...x/ubuntulinux/
everything goes well until I get to the step
Quote:

Prerequisites by Ubuntu Version
where I have to install the package linux-image-extra-virtual with:
Code:

$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual
then it complains about linux-image-extra-virtual and unmet dependencies, namely:
Code:

ubudabi@pc ~ $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual
Reading package lists... 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-image-extra-virtual : Depends: linux-image-generic (= 4.4.0.45.48) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So what does that mean? I have to update my kernel, or can I somehow fix it or can leave it like this? Is this package necessary to run docker?
My kernel is 4.4.0-21-generic and I actually I don't want to upgrade for stability reasons.

Any ideas?
