apt-get fails postinst tasks on upgrade/install #379

Description

@saelm95

Hi,

Whenever I try to do an apt upgrade or install, it goes into a postinst error while trying to upgrade the kernel, even though I don't understand why it would try to do that, since Scaleway staff told me that the kernel can't be upgraded. I have tried this on both Bionic Beaver (18.04) and Xenial Xerxus (16.04), both producing the same result.

The part it shows me when updating (apt -y dist-upgrade):
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130ubuntu3.1) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-23-generic
Unsupported platform.

Could it be fixed to where it won't try to upgrade the kernel?
