[Bug 1440608] Re: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal wants to remove all kernels except the latest one
This is working as it should work now. Is there any timeline on when it will be put out to the masses?
I install a kernel and before rebooting I purge the 3rd kernel back like I've always done.
If you autoremove the kernel it leaves the residual config files, which have to purged with a command
like this dpkg -l | grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge

Bug description:
After installing a 3rd kernel currently 3.19.0-12-generic, the
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels file looks normal listing the
3.19.0-11-generic and 3.19.0-12-generic with 3.19.0-10-generic listed
to be autoremoved. But once autoremove is completed the machine
requests to be rebooted and at that time the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
/01autoremove-kernels file lists the 3.19.0-12-generic and
3.19.0-10-generic kernels. So upon rebooting the 3.19.0-11-generic is
requested to be autoremoved leaving only one kernel the latest one
3.19.0-12-generic.
