I accidentally ran apt-get autoremove twice on a couple of Ubuntu 14.04
LTS servers, and it removed the stale kernel (on 1st run) and the old
kernel (on 2nd run), leaving the latest kernel the only one available in
/boot.
The .old kernel was linux-headers-3.13.0-139-generic, and if I look at
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels, I see that it should've been
kept:
// DO NOT EDIT! File autogenerated by /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
APT::NeverAutoRemove
{
"^linux-image-3\.13\.0-139-generic$";
"^linux-image-3\.13\.0-141-generic$";
"^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-139-generic$";
"^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-141-generic$";

"^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-141-generic$";
"^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-139-generic$";
"^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-141-generic$";
};
The timestamp of /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal is very recent,
so I cannot guarantee that it had the same contents at the time of my
second apt-get autoremove run.
(Thankfully, running apt-get autoremove for the third time does not try
to remove my current--and only--kernel.)
