[Bug 1446269] Re: autoremove kernel management leaves one single kernel

[Adam Conrad]

The "leaves conffiles behind" complaint is entirely unrelated, and
solved by using "apt-get --purge autoremove"

Title:
  autoremove kernel management leaves one single kernel

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a kernel upgrade, autoremove removes kernel -2
  This is normal.
  BUT :
  If, a new update/full-upgrade is entered, apt suggests an autoremove for kernel -1
  If one performs the autoremove, it leaves the system with a single kernel :

  :~$ dpkg -l | grep -Ei "linux-headers|linux-image"

  By the way, autoremove also leaves a bunch of rc files that need to be wiped with : 
  dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge

  Having a single kernel is highly uneasy !
