Urs Thuermann: I see that some new versions of packages are installed without the old versions being removed, although they are marked as automatically installed, e.g. Linux kernel, clang, llvm, and some others. For example # aptitud

It must be something in the kernel, because, as I still have 3.16.0-4-amd64, now I booted with that and I'm writing using TB on X, which means X is working. The bad kernel is linux-image-4.9.0-3-amd64, I'm not going to boot it any more, except possibly for testing. I'm somewhat surprised, because
