this is a separate issue fixed later, calculating upgradable packages leaves
the upgradable packages in the cache, and u-u counts them as the reverse
dependencies of the first kernel to be removed.
This keeps the first kernel on the system, but when there are no upgradable
packages
** Description changed:
[Impact]
* Update-manager and unattended-upgrades install many kernel packages during
the lifetime of a release but does not remove them automatically leading to
those packages filling disk space potentially completely filling /boot and
making the system unable
@rbalint about your test case: I wonder why linux-image-4.8.0-53-generic
was not removed by u-u? Was it the booted kernel? You also did not run
'sudo /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal' before running u-u. Your
test case does not show how the kernels were installed.
In the following, I show
rbalint, in the output there is some oddity:
"Keeping auto-removable linux-image-extra-4.8.0-54-generic package(s) because
it would also remove the following packages which should be kept in this step:
libpam-systemd libsystemd0 libudev1 systemd systemd-sysv udev
