I found the description somewhat confusing because 'Unattended-Upgrade ::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies "true"; doesn't actually exist in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades, rather that's the default setting in unattended-upgrades since 0.90. Regardless, I was able to recreate the issue on an Ubuntu 16.04 system via the following procedure.
1) Use apt-get install to install a new kernel (linux-image-generic) 2) Run unattended-upgrades (observe "no pending auto-removals") However, running 'sudo apt autoremove' does want to remove an old kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1624644 Title: By default settings unattended-upgrade is unable to automatically remove packages that become unused in conjunction with updating by other software.
