kernel 4.15.0-21: hi cascardo, previously, I attempted to remove the kernel via synaptic. And linux-image-4.15.0-21 could not be removed.
This time I did apt-get remove --purge. I get (translation from german) rmdir: /lib/modules/4.15.0-21-generic could not be removed: not empty, and dpkg: during removal of linux-modules-4.15.0-21-generic, the directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-21 is not empty. Thus, will not be removed. However, this time the kernel is indeed removed completely (all 5 .deb files). In fact, /lib/modules/4.15.0-21-generic contains stuff related to virtualbox only, such as vboxdrv.ko (3 more .ko files). Maybe, these are remnants from the previous incomplete removal of the kernel? volker -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767133 Title: linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic install after upgrade from xenial breaks Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux-hwe-edge package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Xenial: Invalid Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Bionic: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] Some upgrades from xenial to bionic break.

If all packages are upgraded, it's possible linux-base is going to be upgraded first, so the problem won't happen either. So, not all upgrades will be affected.
