Title:
/boot/initrd.img-*.old-dkms files left behind
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in dkms package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
One notices *.old-dkms files being left behind still sitting on the
disk after purging the related kernel. This can cause /boot to become
full, and when it gets really bad, even sudo apt-get autoremove won't
fix the problem - only deleting the old-dkms files manually solves the
problem.
Note: Filling up the /boot partition causes updates to fail.
