Sean: What you quoted is the part that tells apt to not remove kernel _meta_ packages. Individual kernels are automatically removed subject to the kernel autoremoval helper script output in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d /01autoremove-kernels; which keeps up to 3 kernels around.
Note that this stops working if you manually install a certain kernel version, as it only works for automatically installed kernel versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779657 Title: apt autoremove not removing old kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1779657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
