File descriptor 84 (/dev/pts/7) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 11219: /usr/sbin/grub-probe
File descriptor 84 (/dev/pts/7) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 14875: /usr/sbin/grub-probe

I have this on a Ubuntu 14.10 system( multiboot with fedora 20 and
windows 7) when executing "apt-get autoremove"  the old  kernel was not
removed, but it was removed after running "apt-get autoremove" a second
time.
