Title:
May remove autoremovable non-kernel packages matching pattern from
APT::VersionedKernelPackages
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Unattended-upgrades and Update Manager use the patterns from the
APT::VersionedKernelPackages list directly for finding kernel packages
to remove while APT uses patterns by attaching version and flavor to
them.
As a result in APT's script ".*-modules" becomes
"^.*-modules-4\.15\.0-45-generic$":
...
for package in $(apt-config dump --no-empty --format '%v%n'
'APT::VersionedKernelPackages'); do
for kernel in $kernels; do
echo " \"^${package}-${kernel}$\";"
done
...
In unattended-upgrades and update-manager ".*-modules" is used
directly for matching and may false identify autoremovable packages
as kernel-related ones and remove them (of just offer the removal in
case of update-manager):
...
Removing unused kernel packages: extra-cmake-modules
marking extra-cmake-modules for removal
(Reading database ... 31149 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing extra-cmake-modules (5.44.0-0ubuntu1) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.8.3-2ubuntu0.1) ...
Packages that were successfully auto-removed: extra-cmake-modules
