Public bug reported:
After a kernel upgrade, autoremove removes kernel -2
This is normal.
BUT :
If, a new update/full-upgrade is entered, apt suggests an autoremove for kernel
-1
If one performs the autoremove, it leaves the system with a single kernel :
:~$ dpkg -l | grep -Ei "linux-headers|linux-image"
ii linux-headers-3.19.0-15 3.19.0-15.15
all Header files related to Linux kernel
version 3.19.0
ii linux-headers-3.19.0-15-generic 3.19.0-15.15
amd64 Linux kernel headers for version 3.19.0
on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-headers-generic 3.19.0.15.14
amd64 Generic Linux kernel headers
rc linux-image-3.19.0-13-generic 3.19.0-13.13
amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.0
on 64 bit x86 SMP
rc linux-image-3.19.0-14-generic 3.19.0-14.14
amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.0
on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-3.19.0-15-generic 3.19.0-15.15
amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.0
on 64 bit x86 SMP
rc linux-image-extra-3.19.0-13-generic 3.19.0-13.13
amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version
3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
rc linux-image-extra-3.19.0-14-generic 3.19.0-14.14
amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version
3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-extra-3.19.0-15-generic 3.19.0-15.15
amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version
3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-generic 3.19.0.15.14
amd64 Generic Linux kernel image
By the way, autoremove also leaves a bunch of rc files that need to be wiped
with :
dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge
Having a single kernel is highly uneasy !
