Public bug reported:
I was trying to clear space on /boot by removing linux-image-4.15.0-38. This
would have left wo later versions.
sudo apt auto-remove --purge usually works but did not this time.
I reverted to sudo apt-get remove linux-image-4.15.0-38.
This produced a screen telling me that I was trying to remove the current
version of linux and reported the dire consequences of continuing. It
recommended aborting the operation, which I did.
The system should have moved on twice before this leaving it running a
considerably later kernal.
