Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm currently running kubuntu jaunty with the 2.6.30 kernel and kde
4.2.4, apt is version 0.7.20.2ubuntu6.
I decided to remove kernel version 2.6.28-11 and ran "sudo apt-get
remove -purge 2.6.28-11*" expecting the command would remove the
2.6.28-11 kernel. However it tried to remove ALL installed kernels from
the 2.6.28-group (so in my case 2.6.28.11,2.6.28.13 and 2.6.28.14). I
attached the output of "sudo apt-get remove -purge 2.6.28-11*".
I removed the 2.6.28-11 kernel version successfully by using the
following command: apt-get remove 2.6.28-11-*, however I think that the
command I initially used should not delete all kernels as this is an
accident waiting to happen.
I also tried to replicate this behaviour with other packages, but it
worked fine for "sudo apt-get remove -purge flashplugin-nonfree*" it
only listed packages containing "flashplugin-nonfree" and no packages
containing "flashplugin" but not "nonfree", so it's probably a problem
that is specific to the kernel packages.
