Result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JVHZpFWBBT/
It appears as though apt and u-u are doing the job, but for some reason
the packages aren't getting marked as autoremovable when they're
upgraded? I had to manually mark these as autoremovable (apt-mark linux-
image-${version}-${generic|lowlatency} auto) to get u-u or apt to do
anything about it. If you look at the list above, even the 5.4.0-65 and
5.4.0-41 kernels are showing up as manually installed, which is not the
case (they were installed via their respective metapackages).
So, something is definitely not working as expected.

[Bug 1914278] Re: apt autoremove is not removing unused kernels
Please install a few old kernels manually, mark them autoremovable and run u-u in verbose and debug mode. If u-u removes those kernels this is not an u-u bug. Then install those again and try removing them with apt. If apt removes those kernels than this is not an APT bug. ** Changed in: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914278 Title: apt autoremove is not removing unused kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1914278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1914278] Re: apt autoremove is not removing unused kernels
Erich, looks like that code wasn't reached or if it was the object
(list) "auto_removable" was empty.
Maybe the problem is outside this code. Does apt think those packages
are still installed?
apt list --installed 'linux-image*'
Also, what is the actual content of /boot/ ("ls -latr /boot/") ? I'm wondering
if it could be that the kernels (linux-image-*) packages have been removed but
the (space-eating) initrd,img* files have remained. Each of those can be close
to 50MB.

[Bug 1914278] Re: apt autoremove is not removing unused kernels
I haven't been able to test this since the systems I have here don't
have any kernel images lying around, but wondering if this patch could
help narrow down the cause?
Apply to a (copy) of /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade - possibly put in
/usr/local/bin/ so it is called before the package-installed version
(don't forget to clear the bash hash cache ("hash -r") first)
Then:
sudo /usr/local/bin/unattended-upgrade --verbose --debug

Balint: Here's the result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9kbT6HDpjw/ Bear in mind, I have a few external repositories, and we also ship a bunch of external repositories by default. That said, none of those should affect this as they don't contain kernels, nor do we pin any kernels.
