Hello Jarno, or anyone else affected, Accepted apt into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.6.16 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Fix Released => Fix Committed ** Tags removed: verification-done verification-done-bionic ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615381 Title: apt-get autoremove may remove current kernel Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Trusty: Won't Fix Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Artful: Won't Fix Status in apt source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in apt source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Groovy: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Hirsute: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] APT will try and fail to remove the currently running kernel, when booted into an older kernel that is not protected. May wreak some havoc if mixed with other operations to the point that apt goes weird and needs manual fixing up. [Test case] For the SRUs we have included an automated test case that starts with an empty autoremove config file, and then checks that the running kernel is protected at runtime. You can also test manually, but it's not necessary: - Install new kernel - Reboot into kernel not listed as protected in 01autoremove-kernels - Run autoremove [Where problems could occur] We may more easily run out of space in /boot. hirsute has new autoremoval code that runs completely at runtime; but that seems a bit large to SRU after only a few weeks in hirsute. Hence, we should protect the current kernel _in addition_ to the other kernels, just like unattended-upgrades and update-manager do. This increases the risk of filling up /boot compared to older apt versions, but is at the same level as unattended-upgrades and update-manager. [Original bug report] This may happen, if you boot one of the older kernels, that is not protected by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels Workaround: run /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal during each boot (e.g. by using cron). Note: The workaround breaks autoremoving feature of new unneeded kernels in unattended-upgrades i.e. the setting 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies "true"' (which is default in 16.04 unless 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true"' is set in '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades'. In shell: $ uname -r 4.4.0-22-generic $ apt-get -s autoremove NOTE: This is only a simulation! apt-get needs root privileges for real execution. Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated, so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation! Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
