The vmlinuz.old link is manipulated in debian/control-scripts/postinst really_move_link() which has not changed since Precise.

Kernel upgrade this morning. The installation of grub2 did not fix the problem.

I ran the command for apport. I don't see any logs attached here, but supposedly information was sent to the developers according to apport. ** Description changed: Beginning with 12.10 I noticed that with each kernel upgrade the symlink /vmlinuz.old points to the new current kernel.

[Bug 1180752] Re: vmlinuz.old symlink points to new kernel after upgrade
I saw that there was an error when apport finished and that I did not have grub2 installed. I repeated the command and now see the report has been added to this bug. I am thinking that the lack of grub2 may have been the problem. I'll make note of it on the next kernel upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180752 Title: vmlinuz.old symlink points to new kernel after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1180752/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
