I'm running on Ubuntu 16.04 with 4.16.3 Kernel, both on my desktop and laptop, every time I try to upgrade to a newer kernel with UKUU fails the configuration of the package and return me this error (example installing 4.16.6):
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-unsigned-4.16.6-041606-generic (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
And the only solution is to remove it, how can i solve it?

Kernels 4.14.xx, 4.16.xx and 4.17.rc(xx) all share the same bug over this last week; April 24-30, 2018.
I just tried 4.14.38 tonight and it exhibits the same errors as 4.14.36 and 4.14.37 as documented in this bug report.
In my case tonight the errors are:

Using ukuu to install kernels past v4.16.3 required these steps
- install libssl1.1 from
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libssl1.1/download - install the matching linux-modules deb for the kernel
For example for the 4.16.7 kernel grab the linux-module deb from
- http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16.7/
You can find your kernel at -->
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

I had to install libssl1.1 from bionic to upgrade my kernel from v4.14.37 to v4.14.41 earlier today in an artful installation.

The kernel that came with Ubuntu 18.04 has brightness problems for my computer (Lenovo IdeaPad S400). This was solved updating the kernel version.
I was trying earlier to update the kernel to version 4.16.6 using the software UKUU and it didn't work. Then I followed the instructions in (using the terminal): How to update kernel to the latest mainline version without any Distro-upgrade?
For my computer I downloaded the following packages (in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16.6/):
linux-headers-4.16.6-041606_4.16.6-041606.201804300418_all.deblinux-headers-4.16.6-041606-generic_4.16.6-041606.201804300418_amd64.deblinux-image-unsigned-4.16.6-041606-generic_4.16.6-041606.201804300418_amd64.deblinux-modules-4.16.6-041606-generic_4.16.6-041606.201804300418_amd64.deb
Then, following the instructions of the link above, I wrote:
cd /path/to/folder/where/you/put/the/debs
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
It worked perfectly.

The problem I've been experiencing with the latest series of Linux kernels (that is those after K4.16.3> ) is that the "linux-image.deb" files are NOT signed. It is the lack of signed binary files that is causing all the problems i.e. fails to install, system just borks at any attempts.
The only solution IMO is to hold back and wait patiently for the next major kernel release i.e. K.4.17 or even K5.0 in the hope that the required linux-imge.deb files will include the necessary key signing and thus install without any difficulties.

Kernels 4.14.xx, 4.16.xx and 4.17.rc(xx) all share the same bug over this last week; April 24-30, 2018.
I just tried 4.14.38 tonight and it exhibits the same errors as 4.14.36 and 4.14.37 as documented in this bug report.
In my case tonight the errors are:

Kernels 4.14.xx, 4.16.xx and 4.17.rc(xx) all share the same bug over this last week; April 24-30, 2018.
I just tried 4.14.38 tonight and it exhibits the same errors as 4.14.36 and 4.14.37 as documented in this bug report.
In my case tonight the errors are:

Using ukuu to install kernels past v4.16.3 required these steps
- install libssl1.1 from
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libssl1.1/download - install the matching linux-modules deb for the kernel
For example for the 4.16.7 kernel grab the linux-module deb from
- http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16.7/
You can find your kernel at -->
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

The kernel that came with Ubuntu 18.04 has brightness problems for my computer (Lenovo IdeaPad S400). This was solved updating the kernel version.
I was trying earlier to update the kernel to version 4.16.6 using the software UKUU and it didn't work. Then I followed the instructions in (using the terminal): How to update kernel to the latest mainline version without any Distro-upgrade?
For my computer I downloaded the following packages (in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16.6/):
linux-headers-4.16.6-041606_4.16.6-041606.201804300418_all.deblinux-headers-4.16.6-041606-generic_4.16.6-041606.201804300418_amd64.deblinux-image-unsigned-4.16.6-041606-generic_4.16.6-041606.201804300418_amd64.deblinux-modules-4.16.6-041606-generic_4.16.6-041606.201804300418_amd64.deb
Then, following the instructions of the link above, I wrote:
cd /path/to/folder/where/you/put/the/debs
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
It worked perfectly.

The problem I've been experiencing with the latest series of Linux kernels (that is those after K4.16.3> ) is that the "linux-image.deb" files are NOT signed. It is the lack of signed binary files that is causing all the problems i.e. fails to install, system just borks at any attempts.
The only solution IMO is to hold back and wait patiently for the next major kernel release i.e. K.4.17 or even K5.0 in the hope that the required linux-imge.deb files will include the necessary key signing and thus install without any difficulties.
