Brian, however, as you installed the kernel by apt-get install, the kernel becomes manually installed, and will not later be removed by 'sudo apt autoremove', unless you change it to be marked as automatically installed.
I question the use of 'sudo apt autoremove' in this case. If its action was the desired one, setting Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "false"; would be the setting to use, instead of the current default Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies "true"; Balint Reczey tries to explain in #11 why that setting is not desired. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1624644 Title: By default settings unattended-upgrade is unable to automatically remove packages that become unused in conjunction with updating by other software.
