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

 

Still an issue in xenial! I've added package 'linux' since that's the
source package that has the problem and I'm not sure how else to show
that this is a problem in trusty AND xenial (and probably everything in-
between).

** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
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
