autoremove seems to want to remove the second to last regular kernel on my systems also. I always have a bunch of mainline kernels installed on my computers, and maybe that is the reason.
Example: $ sudo apt-get autoremove Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: gconf-service gconf-service-backend gconf2 gconf2-common libavahi-glib1 libbonobo2-0 libbonobo2-common libcanberra0 libgconf-2-4 libgnome-2-0 libgnome2-common libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common libllvm3.8 libmircommon5 liborbit-2-0 linux-headers-4.4.0-67 linux-headers-4.4.0-67-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-72 linux-headers-4.4.0-72-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-77 linux-headers-4.4.0-77-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-83 linux-headers-4.4.0-83-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-92 linux-headers-4.4.0-92-generic linux-image-4.4.0-67-generic linux-image-4.4.0-72-generic linux-image-4.4.0-77-generic linux-image-4.4.0-83-generic linux-image-4.4.0-92-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-67-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-72-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-77-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-83-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-92-generic sound-theme-freedesktop 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 37 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 1,535 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. The current regular kernel is 4.4.0-93 and I expect 4.4.0-92 to be left alone. I am running servers 16.04.3 and apt 1.2.24. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1427910 Title: apt doesn't correctly fill APT::NeverAutoRemove Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After kernel update I have 3 kernel packages: ii linux-headers-3.13.0-43 ii linux-headers-3.13.0-45 ii linux-headers-3.13.0-43-generic ii linux-headers-3.13.0-45-generic ii linux-headers-3.13.0-46 ii linux-headers-3.13.0-46-generic ii linux-headers-generic 3.13.0.46.53 ii linux-image-3.13.0-43-generic ii linux-image-3.13.0-45-generic ii linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic ii linux-image-extra-3.13.0-43-generic ii linux-image-extra-3.13.0-45-generic ii linux-image-extra-3.13.0-46-generic And apt-config dump | grep linux returns: APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.13\.0-45-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-45-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.13\.0-45-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.13\.0-45-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-45-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-45-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; Then I do: apt-get purge linux-headers-3.13.0-43 linux-headers-3.13.0-43-generic linux-image-3.13.0-43-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-43-generic Then again apt-config dump | grep linux returns: APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.13\.0-43-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-43-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.13\.0-43-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.13\.0-43-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-43-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-43-generic$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-3\.13\.0-46-generic$"; It has 43 and 46.
