I run an alias to do my updating and it's this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoclean When the update happens and there is a kernel waiting to be dist-upgraded I believe the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremovekernels file has been manipulated to include parts of the wrong kernel Then when autoclean runs it deletes parts of that kernel rendering it useless. Thus when a reboot happens, the wrong kernel is wanting to be deleted, again triggering /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal and you end up with one kernel. /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal should not be triggered as many times as it is. As I've mentioned a few times after rebooting and purging kernels it causes you to have just one.
I took out the autoremove part and if I delete the oldest of the 3 kernels before the first reboot, it gets it right. But, when you reboot before purging the 3rd kernel it will keep on until you have one. ** Tags added: xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440608 Title: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal wants to remove all kernels except the latest one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1440608/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
