Works by 2.3ubuntu0.3 but there is no such update for 18.04. ** Description changed:
If user has linux-generic-hwe-18.04 installed, versioned linux-headers packages depend on versioned linux-hwe-5.4-headers packages that will not get removed. Consequently in time there will be hundreds of thousands of unused files under /usr/src. For example I have about 450000 totalling 1.4 GB. The number of inodes may be bigger issue, because file systems have some limitations. I noted the issue when using my linux-purge tool. It is supposed to be able to remove kernels, even if the file system runs out of inodes. + + Workaround: + + Install linux-purge from https://launchpad.net/linux-purge and run + + sudo linux-purge ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: unattended-upgrades 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-81.91~18.04.1-generic 5.4.128 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-81-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.24 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Sep 5 14:38:49 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-09-05 (1826 days ago) InstallationMedia: Mythbuntu 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release i386 (20160719) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: unattended-upgrades UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2019-04-06 (882 days ago) modified.conffile..etc.apt.apt.conf.d.10periodic: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.apt.apt.conf.d.10periodic: 2018-03-26T11:42:30.041160 -- 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/1942703 Title: Remove-Unused-Kernel-Packages leaves unused linux-hwe-.*-headers-.* packages around Status in unattended-upgrades: New Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If user has linux-generic-hwe-18.04 installed, versioned linux-headers packages depend on versioned linux-hwe-5.4-headers packages that will not get removed.
