[Bug 1427910] Re: apt doesn't correctly fill APT::NeverAutoRemove

[Julian Andres Klode]

Well, Doug, it preserves the latest 2 kernels. You have several 4.13 and
4.10 builds, and 4.13 > 4.10 > 4.4.

# Last kernel: 4.13.0-rc7-stock-274
# Previous kernel: 4.13.0-rc5-stock-273

Note that your version number is wrong too, it should be ~rc7, not -rc7,
otherwise 4.13.0-rc7-blah is larger than 4.13.0-blah (or 4.13.0-number-
blah).

Title:
  apt doesn't correctly fill APT::NeverAutoRemove

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After kernel update I have 3 kernel packages:
  ii  linux-headers-3.13.0-43
  ii  linux-headers-3.13.0-45 
  ii  linux-headers-3.13.0-43-generic
  ii  linux-headers-3.13.0-45-generic
  ii  linux-headers-3.13.0-46 
  ii  linux-headers-3.13.0-46-generic
  ii  linux-headers-generic                 3.13.0.46.53
  ii  linux-image-3.13.0-43-generic
  ii  linux-image-3.13.0-45-generic 
  ii  linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic
  ii  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-43-generic
  ii  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-45-generic 
  ii  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-46-generic

  And apt-config dump | grep linux returns:

  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.13\.0-45-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-45-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.13\.0-45-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.13\.0-45-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-45-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-45-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";

  Then I do:

  apt-get purge linux-headers-3.13.0-43 linux-headers-3.13.0-43-generic
  linux-image-3.13.0-43-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-43-generic

  Then again apt-config dump | grep linux returns:

  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.13\.0-43-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-43-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.13\.0-43-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.13\.0-43-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-43-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-43-generic$";
  APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-46-generic$";

  It has 43 and 46.

  Suppose to be two last versions 45 and 46, because I have them.

  
  Apt doesn't work correctly.
  It now suggests:

  apt-get autoremove 
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  The following packages will be REMOVED
    linux-image-3.13.0-45-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-45-generic

  
  It needs to be fixed.

  Thank you in advance.
