For years I have used kernels from this PPA, but now with kernels 4.16.4 and kernels 4.16.5 I am unable to install (and also uninstall) broken kernel packages.
Distro is Ubuntu MATE 16.04 (Xenial).
Looks like some helpers not found on installation of kernel package:
linux-update-symlinks
linux-check-removal
There is also an unusual kernel package name which contains 'unsigned':
linux-image-unsigned-4.16.5-041605-generic
What is going on?

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you please add a little more detail? What exactly did you do, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. Please edit your post to add information instead of posting a comment. (see How do I ask a good question?)

I'm not sure of what is going on but I managed to remove the unsigned kernels by commenting out the line:
linux-check-removal $version
in the files
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-unsigned-4.16.5-041605-generic.prerm
and / or
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-unsigned-4.16.4-041604-generic.prerm
and then continuing with apt-get standard removal procedure (ukuu-gtk also works fine).

I did the same about removal. But installation... I found needed scripts in debian package linux-base_4.5. Now I am looking for same ubuntu package. Strange thing is that this never happened before 4.16.4

This is a clue from ubuntu package search: Exact hits Package linux-base trusty (14.04LTS) (kernel): Linux image base package 3.5ubuntu4: all xenial (16.04LTS) (kernel): Linux image base package 4.0ubuntu1: all artful (kernel): Linux image base package 4.5ubuntu1: all bionic (kernel): Linux image base package 4.5ubuntu1: all Now is the question am I safe to upgrade to 4.5 on xenial?

'unsigned' kernels are not signed with EFI/UEFI keys. However, I tried to boot these unsigned kernels in unsafe mode on my ASUS z170 pro gaming with an Intel i5 6600k but I still get a kernel panic. I'll try to upgrade the BIOS and see what happens.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you please add a little more detail? What exactly did you do, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. Please edit your post to add information instead of posting a comment. (see How do I ask a good question?)
