Public bug reported:
Looking at linux-image-extra-3.19.0-18-generic here, but I expect this
to be pretty pervasive. This is its postrm:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
case "$0::$1" in
*.postinst::configure|*.postrm::remove)
depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-3.19.0-18-generic 3.19.0-18-generic ||
true
for dir in "/etc/kernel/postinst.d"
"/etc/kernel/postinst.d/3.19.0-18-generic"
do
if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
run-parts --verbose --exit-on-error
--arg="3.19.0-18-generic" --arg="/boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-18-generic" "$dir"
fi
done
;;
esac
As you can see it executes /etc/kernel/postinst.d/* instead of
/etc/kernel/postrm.d/* even if it's called as a postrm script. Why? The
problem for us is that this re-executes dkms's autoinstaller, which
recompiles certain modules even if the kernel is being removed. But I
find this behavior pretty surprising regardless of this.
