Title:
apt-get autoremove should leave (n-1)th kernel
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Running autoremove tonight on a 13.10 machine being upgraded to 14.04,
I was informed by apt-get that I could delete no longer needed kernel
packages with autoremove. When I did so I was left with just the
current kernel. I suggest that autoremove should always leave the
(n-1)th kernel behind. Otherwise users cannot revert to the previous
kernel if something goes wrong. I believe this has been the default
behavior for "apt-get autoremove" for some time now.
You could argue that if a user is able to run autoremove, then there
is no point to keeping the previous kernel image. I disagree. Users
may not test out all their connected devices before running autoremove
and then discover they cannot use a camera or audio device.
Release: 14.04 (Trusty)
Package: apt, Version: 0.9.14.1ubuntu2 (and earlier)
Expected: "apt-get autoremove" would leave current and prior kernel images
installed
Actual: only current kernel image remains
