[Bug 1637797] Re: kernel referred to by /*.old autoremoved
The nightly unattended-upgrade (which I've configured to Unattended- Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true";) removed the .old kernel on two different 14.04 LTS servers last night, leaving both with no backup kernel at all. In fact now that I'm paying attention again, I have quite a number of servers without a /vmlinuz.old. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637797 Title: kernel referred to by /*.old autoremoved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1637797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1637797] Re: kernel referred to by /*.old autoremoved
One interesting thing is that this bug didn't manifest on other Ubuntu 14.04 LTS servers. I've a couple of sibling servers that are supposed to be exact copies (one is a hot standby for the other). One of them is now down to just one kernel, with two kernels listed in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove- kernels. The other has two kernels left, but it has *three* kernels listed in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels. In both cases some of the kernels listed in APT::NeverAutoRemove did get removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637797 Title: kernel referred to by /*.old autoremoved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1637797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1637797] Re: kernel referred to by /*.old autoremoved
FWIW I can reinstall linux-image-3.13.0-139-generic, mark it as autoremovable with apt-mark auto linux-image-3.13.0-139-generic, and at that point apt-get autoremove doesn't try to remove it any more. (But the apt-get install didn't restore /vmlinuz.old or /initrd.img.old symlinks.) I'm not sure how to reproduce the original bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637797 Title: kernel referred to by /*.old autoremoved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1637797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1637797] Re: kernel referred to by /*.old autoremoved
I accidentally ran apt-get autoremove twice on a couple of Ubuntu 14.04
LTS servers, and it removed the stale kernel (on 1st run) and the old
kernel (on 2nd run), leaving the latest kernel the only one available in
/boot.
The .old kernel was linux-headers-3.13.0-139-generic, and if I look at
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels, I see that it should've been
kept:

};
The timestamp of /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal is very recent,
so I cannot guarantee that it had the same contents at the time of my
second apt-get autoremove run.
(Thankfully, running apt-get autoremove for the third time does not try
to remove my current--and only--kernel.)

APT should keep those kernels in recent versions: # Mark as not-for-autoremoval those kernel packages that are: # - the currently booted version # - the kernel version we've been called for # - the latest kernel version (as determined by debian version number) # - the second-latest kernel version I'm not sure what 1.0 does.
