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.
3.16.0.24 and 3.16.0.25 aren't listed at <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux>. But looking at <https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel- team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/6639809/+files/linux- image-3.16.0-28-generic_3.16.0-28.38_amd64.deb> for example, DEBIAN/postinst contains the magic words "/usr/share/update-notifier /notify-reboot-required", but DEBIAN/prerm and DEBIAN/postrm do not. So I don't see how uninstalling the package could prompt for a restart. Could you copy and paste the terminal output from when you do the removal? ** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1401425 Title: Uninstalling unused kernel requires a reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1401425/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
