Title:
  Uninstalling unused kernel requires a reboot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When Linux kernel is updated, a package with the new kernel version is
  installed, and the system offers to reboot the machine (an icon
  appears in the system tray). After reboot the new kernel is loaded,
  but the old one is still installed. When I remove the old kernel
  packages (e.g. linux-image-3.16.0-25-generic, linux-image-
  extra-3.16.0-25-generic, linux-headers-3.16.0-25, linux-
  headers-3.16.0-25-generic) the system offers to reboot again, even
  though that kernel is not used. In essence this means that kernel
  upgrade requires two reboots.

  Removing unused kernel packages should not require a reboot, and some
  time ago it actually worked that way. I can't remember exactly which
  kernel release broke that (probably, 3.16.0-24 or so).
