Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 2.12
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Michael, et al,
Linux Commit 706d933b:
Include target Debian release number in ABI name
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/706d933b
generates kernel image package names such as the following:
* linux-image-6.12.38+deb13-amd64
* linux-image-6.12.41+deb13-amd64
* linux-image-6.12.43+deb13-amd64
versioned_kernel_pkgs_regexp does not match these, therefore
unattended-upgrade does not remove unused kernel packages in Trixie.
Lightly tested patch below.
Thank you!
