[Bug 1501884] Re: linux-image-extra-*-generic postrm script runs install actions

 

Changed the package name to linux-lts-trusty as that what I've seen used
in other bug reports against the kernel for trusty even though the
source package for e.g. linux-image-extra-3.13.0-65-generic is listed in
apt-cache as linux. Feel free to change back if this is inappropriate.

** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => linux-lts-trusty (Ubuntu)

Title:
  linux-image-extra-*-generic postrm script runs install actions

Status in linux-lts-trusty package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  The postrm maintainer script in the binary packages linux-image-
  extra-*-generic runs the scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d instead of
  those in /etc/kernel/postrm.d.

  This can have all sorts of undesirable consequences depending on what
  other packages add to those directories, but I noticed it because it
  caused /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal to make the wrong
  decisions leaving my servers with only one installed kernel left.

  Cheers,
  Seb
