Running sudo apt autoremove results in:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

It worked properly in previous versions of apt, but since upgrade to apt
version 2.1.10ubuntu0.2 I seem to be unable to autoremove old kernels. I
expect the kernel version 5.8.0-38.43 to be removed with the autoremove
command.
