[Bug 1615381] Re: apt-get autoremove may remove current kernel

 

Thanks for the heads-up Balint.

I saw the "full backport" discussion in the ML, thanks !

For now, I'm setting Xenial as 'high' priority as it has been brought to
my attention that 'uu' in Xenial removed a running kernel recently :

/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log
...

Bug description:
  This may happen, if you boot one of the older kernels, that is not
  protected by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels

  Workaround: run
  /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
  during each boot (e.g. by using cron).
  Note: The workaround breaks autoremoving feature of new unneeded kernels in  unattended-upgrades i.e. the setting 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies "true"' (which is default in 16.04 unless 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true"' is set in '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades'.

  
  In shell:

  $ uname -r
  4.4.0-22-generic
  $ apt-get -s autoremove
  NOTE: This is only a simulation!
        apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
        Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
        so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
