Public bug reported:
ppc64el kernels are named 'vmlinux', not 'vmlinuz'.
ie, on x86 you have:
/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-66-generic
but on ppc64el you have
/boot/vmlinux-4.4.0-66-generic
so, purge-old-kernels writes an error to stderr and doesnt in general do
anything.
$ sudo purge-old-kernels; echo $?
ls: cannot access '/boot/vmlinuz-*': No such file or directory
No kernels are eligible for removal
0
Simple change is
$ sudo diff -u /usr/bin/purge-old-kernels.dist /usr/bin/purge-old-kernels
