To clarify:
Removing any old version of linux-image-extra-version-generic will
call /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required
AFAICT the problem is not related to DKMS, Nvidia or any particular package
manager.
It does not exist on headless virtual machines that uses linux-image-virtual
FWIW this happens on Trusty as well.
AFAICT the culprit is linux-image-extra-version-generic;
at least on Trusty postrm and postinst are identical; both iterate blindly
through /etc/kernel/postinst.d thereby calling 'update-notifier', which is a
symlink to
Addition: I suspect this may be related to Nvidia driver packages and
DKMS. When I removed the packages, the offer to reboot appeared again. I
can understand why that happened - even though I don't have a Nvidia
card on this machine, the module is built for all kernels, including the
active one,
I'm on Kubuntu, I don't use Software Center. I install/remove packages
with Muon package manager or apt-get from console. The offer to reboot
appears regardless of the package manager I use.
I attached the console log from a kernel removal. The reboot offer
appeared at some point during DKMS
A report of something that broke in a particular kernel release, which
doesn't mention Ubuntu Software Center, is highly unlikely to be a
problem in USC.
