** Description changed: + Note + ---- + This bug is referenced on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels and in the event that this is fixed it'd be good to update the wiki page by likely removing the link to this bug. + On vivid, my system is full of kernels that have been tagged as manually installed again, not automatically installed; preventing 'apt-get autoremove' from doing the right thing. $ sudo apt-mark auto linux-tools-3.19.0-{8,7,10,9}{,-generic} linux-headers-3.19.0-{10,7,8,9}{,-generic} linux-image{,-extra}-3.19.0-{10,7,8,9}-generic linux-tools-3.19.0-8 set to automatically installed. linux-tools-3.19.0-8-generic set to automatically installed. linux-tools-3.19.0-7 set to automatically installed. linux-tools-3.19.0-7-generic set to automatically installed. linux-tools-3.19.0-10 was already set to automatically installed. linux-tools-3.19.0-10-generic was already set to automatically installed. linux-tools-3.19.0-9 set to automatically installed. linux-tools-3.19.0-9-generic set to automatically installed. linux-headers-3.19.0-10 was already set to automatically installed. linux-headers-3.19.0-10-generic was already set to automatically installed. linux-headers-3.19.0-7 set to automatically installed. linux-headers-3.19.0-7-generic set to automatically installed. linux-headers-3.19.0-8 set to automatically installed. linux-headers-3.19.0-8-generic set to automatically installed. linux-headers-3.19.0-9 set to automatically installed. linux-headers-3.19.0-9-generic set to automatically installed. linux-image-3.19.0-10-generic was already set to automatically installed. linux-image-3.19.0-7-generic set to automatically installed. linux-image-3.19.0-8-generic set to automatically installed. linux-image-3.19.0-9-generic set to automatically installed. linux-image-extra-3.19.0-10-generic was already set to automatically installed. linux-image-extra-3.19.0-7-generic set to automatically installed. linux-image-extra-3.19.0-8-generic set to automatically installed. linux-image-extra-3.19.0-9-generic set to automatically installed. $ The only reason -10 was marked as auto-installed was that it went via an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' instead of update-manager (because of the unrelated problem with debconf passthrough currently failing in vivid and blocking upgrades). - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 + ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: update-manager 1:15.04.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-7.7-generic 3.19.0 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-7-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.17-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Apr 2 07:58:41 2015 GsettingsChanges: - b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'show-details' b'true' - b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-height' b'716' - b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'first-run' b'false' - b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-width' b'729' - b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'launch-time' b'1427986279' - InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-09-24 (1651 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100816.1) - PackageArchitecture: all - SourcePackage: update-manager + b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'show-details' b'true' + b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-height' b'716' + b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'first-run' b'false' + b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-width' b'729' + b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'launch-time' b'1427986279' + InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-09-24 (1651 days ago)InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100816.1) + PackageArchitecture: allSourcePackage: update-manager UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to vivid on 2014-12-06 (117 days ago)
