APT has good reason to not autoremove kernels, why you want to break that? You want *some* process to reap old kernels, ok, but that does not mean that the core package manager should be that process. The selection of which kernels to clean up is domain-specific. Determine such a list external to apt and use apt-get remove (not autoremove) to dispose.
At the very least, if you insist on using markauto + autoremove, do not make this the default. Your external process should invoke apt with a custom configuration where APT::NeverAutoRemove does not contain the entries blocking the desired autoremoval. Use APT_CONFIG envvar and/or apt-get -c. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923876 Title: FR: Limit and clean-up kernel images and headers automatically in LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/923876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
