Balint: Result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JVHZpFWBBT/ It appears as though apt and u-u are doing the job, but for some reason the packages aren't getting marked as autoremovable when they're upgraded? I had to manually mark these as autoremovable (apt-mark linux- image-${version}-${generic|lowlatency} auto) to get u-u or apt to do anything about it. If you look at the list above, even the 5.4.0-65 and 5.4.0-41 kernels are showing up as manually installed, which is not the case (they were installed via their respective metapackages). So, something is definitely not working as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914278 Title: apt autoremove is not removing unused kernels Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in discover package in Ubuntu: New Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu: New Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: With the machines I help administer, we have been finding situations where the /boot directory is filling-up beyond 3 kernels on LUKS encrypted systems. apt autoremove is not removing old kernels as expected. This may also be an issue with unattended-upgrades since I found the following line commented-out by default: // Remove unused automatically installed kernel-related packages // (kernel images, kernel headers and kernel version locked tools). // Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Kernel-Packages "true"; We have had a system with as many as 15 kernel packages installed as a result of this not working as expected. The majority of these machines are using Discover to do their package upgrading, which uses PackageKit as its backend.
