Public bug reported:
After upgrading my kernel, directories are left behind in /lib/modules
for previous kernel because with the kernel packaging layout, not all
binary packages are autoremoved:
$ dpkg -S /lib/modules/5.11.0-34-generic
linux-objects-nvidia-460-5.11.0-34-generic: /lib/modules/5.11.0-34-generic
$ sudo apt autoremove --purge linux-objects-nvidia-460-5.11.0-34-generic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
linux-objects-nvidia-460-5.11.0-34-generic*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
