I am using Debian 7.5 with linux-image-3.2.0.4-amd64 (let us call it the
original stable linux-image)
Suppose the following scenario takes place:
1. I upgrade the linux-image to 3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64
2. I remove the original stable linux-image using the following command which I
found after googling:
dpkg --list 'linux-image-*' \
| perl -ane 'BEGIN { $r = `uname -r` or die; chomp $r } print $F[1], "\n"
if $F[0] eq "ii" && $F[1] !~ /\Q$r\E\b/' \
| xargs -r aptitude purge -y
3. A month later I decide to have the original stable linux-image back.
Short of reinstalling the OS, is there an alternative?
