No manually installed kernels. And these were not meta packages. But since I am on 20.04 now, this is not affecting me anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779657 Title: apt autoremove not removing old kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1779657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1779657] Re: apt autoremove not removing old kernels
Sean: What you quoted is the part that tells apt to not remove kernel _meta_ packages. Individual kernels are automatically removed subject to the kernel autoremoval helper script output in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d /01autoremove-kernels; which keeps up to 3 kernels around. Note that this stops working if you manually install a certain kernel version, as it only works for automatically installed kernel versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779657 Title: apt autoremove not removing old kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1779657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1779657] Re: apt autoremove not removing old kernels
Probably the kernels were manually installed for some reason, but there's certainly not enough to act on this. Needs at least /var/lib/apt/extended_states /var/lib/dpkg/status /etc/apt/apt.conf.d /01autoremove-kernels to be able to investigate what happened here. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779657 Title: apt autoremove not removing old kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1779657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1779657] Re: apt autoremove not removing old kernels
I was looking into the same thing
It seems like this is intentional
I'm on this version
lsb_release -a
LSB Version:
core-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:printing-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:security-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release:20.04
Codename: focal
It appears apt is configured to never autoremove kernels
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove
NeverAutoRemove

"^firmware-linux.*";
