[Bug 1828100] Re: KernelRemoval section of DistUpgrade.cfg shouldn't require manual updating

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-release-upgrader - 1:19.10.9

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:19.10.9) eoan; urgency=medium

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py, DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    drop code which identified obsolete kernels and marked them for removal as
    it is redundant with functionality that exists in apt. (LP: #1828100)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeQuirks.py: Create a fallback mechanism for
    determining the version of a release (necessary for Ubuntu 18.04) when
    replacing debs with snaps. (LP: #1833753)

Title:
  KernelRemoval section of DistUpgrade.cfg shouldn't require manual
  updating

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Eoan:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Currently the method to determine kernels to auto remove uses a hard-
  coded version number and package base names in DistUpgrade.cfg. This
  need to be updated for every release of Ubuntu and has been missed in
  the past - bug 1828072. It'd be better if the autoremovalable kernels
  did not need to be updated all the time and instead utilized the logic
  apt uses (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove) to determine what kernels
  are removable.
