Title:
purging a kernel sometimes fails to remove kernel in armel
Status in initramfs-tools:
New
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
When purging a kernel, the links in /boot fail to get updated, which
flash-kernel depends on for updating boot partitions on armel
platforms. This may leave the system unable to boot or may continue
to boot the purged kernel.
The following is the output from apt-get --purge:
ubuntu@beaglexm:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.35-24-omap

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
linux-headers-2.6.35-22 linux-headers-2.6.35-22-omap
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
