Two latest installed kernels are expected to be 'actual active' ones, not 'obsolete' like 'synaptic' shows. Or that setting should be set by the user depending on his wish. This often happen with the devlopment ubuntu release, where there is not several kernels yet (genuine, proposed, security)
So voting to get 2 latest kernels not removed when 'autoremove' is ran. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446269 Title: autoremove kernel management leaves one single kernel Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After a kernel upgrade, autoremove removes kernel -2 This is normal. BUT : If, a new update/full-upgrade is entered, apt suggests an autoremove for kernel -1 If one performs the autoremove, it leaves the system with a single kernel : :~$ dpkg -l | grep -Ei "linux-headers|linux-image" ii linux-headers-3.19.0-15 3.19.0-15.15 all Header files related to Linux kernel version 3.19.0 ii linux-headers-3.19.0-15-generic 3.19.0-15.15 amd64 Linux kernel headers for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-headers-generic 3.19.0.15.14 amd64 Generic Linux kernel headers rc linux-image-3.19.0-13-generic 3.19.0-13.13 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP rc linux-image-3.19.0-14-generic 3.19.0-14.14 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-3.19.0-15-generic 3.19.0-15.15 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP rc linux-image-extra-3.19.0-13-generic 3.19.0-13.13 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP rc linux-image-extra-3.19.0-14-generic 3.19.0-14.14 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-extra-3.19.0-15-generic 3.19.0-15.15 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-generic 3.19.0.15.14 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image By the way, autoremove also leaves a bunch of rc files that need to be wiped with : dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge Having a single kernel is highly uneasy !
