Hi, 
I regularly have systems with /boot full due, I believe, to this issue and had an example this morning.

Manually running "apt-get autoremove" deleted kernels+headers for the
last 10 kernels or so. How can that be automated?

Above one refers to version .76ubuntu1.2, and I have 0.82.1ubuntu2.3 which sound newer.
have I missed something or are the fixes not yet mainstream in 14.04?
(Just noticed 0.82.1ubuntu2.4 is available too)

Or are the apt settings wrong perhaps:

Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root@localhost";
Unattended-Upgrade::MailOnlyOnError "true";
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true";
Unattended-Upgrade::MinimalSteps "true";
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true";
# install patches automatically, update weekly, 
# wipe unused packages after 3 weeks. No report.
APT::Periodic::Enable "1";
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "7";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "21";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "7";
APT::Periodic::Verbose "0";

Reading  https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html did not
help much, are there better sources?

Bug description:
  I have a system that runs unattended-upgrades just fine. Now i want to
  automate removal of old kernels and kernel header packages that are
  accumulating otherwise. So i set 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-
  Dependencies "true";'. But it doesn't work.

  Note that the majority of these packages have been installed by

  According to the comments within/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-
  upgrades, this should automate autoremoval:

    // Do automatic removal of new unused dependencies after the upgrade
    // (equivalent to apt-get autoremove)
    Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true";

  but nothing happens (note the line "Packages that are auto removed: ''
  ":

  $ unattended-upgrades --debug --dry-run
