That doesn't seem to work for me. One of the lines from dpkg is rc linux-image-3.2.0-2 3.2.0-27.43 i386 Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 32 but: $ sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-3.2.0-2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting 'linux-image-3.2.0-27-generic-pae' for regex 'linux-image-3.2.0-2' Package 'linux-image-3.2.0-27-generic-pae' is not installed, so not removed 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
