Oh right, that's another use case I forgot about. I can see cleaning them up automatically in unattended-upgrades and dist-upgrade (or well, when any new kernel is installed). I just don't want to accidentally autoremove a desktop or something :)
I guess in essence we can just define a second level of autoremove that only removes safe packages, and just enable that by default. This way we can mark kernels as safe to autoremove, and still have an autoremove command that removes potentially less-safe unused packages. We can even extend that to other packages as needed. Together with fixes for gnome-software and complete autoremove in do- release-upgrade (and perhaps the limited autoremove when removing a package) we should should have a solution that should not cause any big issues I think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734104 Title: 'upgrade' in bionic should by default autoremove as well To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1734104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
