[Bug 1180752] Re: vmlinuz.old symlink points to new kernel after upgrade

[Anita]

Kernel upgrade this morning.  The installation of grub2 did not fix the
problem.  The symlink for vmlinuz.old changed to the new kernel after
the upgrade.

Title:
  vmlinuz.old symlink points to new kernel after upgrade

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Beginning with 12.10 I noticed that with each kernel upgrade the symlink /vmlinuz.old points to the new current kernel.  I change the link manually each time, but it goes back to pointing to the new kernel with the next upgrade.
