Public bug reported: Seen in lucid after the latest kernel ABI upgrade to 2.6.32-41:
$ aptitude search --disable-columns ~i~Dlinux-image-2.6.32-40-generic i linux-image-generic - Generic Linux kernel image $ aptitude show linux-image-generic Package: linux-image-generic State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 2.6.32.41.48 Priority: optional Section: metapackages Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <[email protected]> Uncompressed Size: 32.8k Depends: linux-image-2.6.32-41-generic, linux-firmware Description: Generic Linux kernel image This package will always depend on the latest generic kernel image available. Since the currently installed version of linux-image-generic does not depend on linux-image-2.6.32-40-generic, I would expect it NOT to be returned by a search for packages that depend on linux- image-2.6.32-40-generic. It doesn't matter whether I include ~i in the search filter or not. If I leave out ~i the output is naturally longer but still mentions linux- image-generic. It also doesn't matter whether linux-image-2.6.32-40-generic is still installed. The above gave identical results before and after I purged the package. One thing did change, though: after purging I see $ aptitude search --disable-columns -F '%r %p %v %V' linux-image-2.6.32-40-generic 0 linux-image-2.6.32-40-generic <none> 2.6.32-40.87 0 linux-image-2.6.32-40-generic-pae <none> 2.6.32-40.87 but when linux-image-2.6.32-40-generic was still installed there was a 1 in the %r column for it.
