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

 

Is there anything else I can do to get this fixed?

We have now gone through a couple of kernel versions all of which have
this bug. One of them had a problem which meant I couldn't use it and
this bug meant I couldn't just reboot into the previous kernel (because
it had been auto-removed).

I have already attached a patch, could one of the kernel maintainers
have a look at it and either include it in the package or let me know
why it can't be?

Cheers,
Seb

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
