[Bug 1605160] [NEW] kernel autoremove not working

[Hadmut Danisch]

Public bug reported:

On one 16.04 machine I have 5 4.4.0-kernels in /boot now (on another
machine even 6):

-rw------- 1 root root  7013968 Apr 19 00:21 vmlinuz-4.4.0-21-generic
-rw------- 1 root root  7015440 Mai 13 01:55 vmlinuz-4.4.0-22-generic
-rw------- 1 root root  7020176 Jun  8 23:39 vmlinuz-4.4.0-24-generic
-rw------- 1 root root  7026864 Jun 24 14:03 vmlinuz-4.4.0-28-generic
-rw------- 1 root root  7047504 Jul 13 03:59 vmlinuz-4.4.0-31-generic


Should not hapen that way. apt-get autoremove should clean that, but doesn't. 

regards
