Thanks Mr. Forshee, that was the problem. Before you close this bug, could i ask a clarification question.

I followed the steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels

apt-mark showauto 'linux-image-.*' showed:
linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-20.04

And apt-mark showmanual 'linux-image-.*' showed:
linux-image-5.8.0-43-lowlatency
linux-image-5.8.0-45-lowlatency
linux-image-5.8.0-48-lowlatency
linux-image-5.8.0-49-lowlatency
linux-image-5.8.0-50-lowlatency

What i did was i marked all but linux-image-5.8.0-50-lowlatency as autoinstalled and then sudo apt autoremove --purge.

My questions are:
1. Should i also mark linux-image-5.8.0-50-lowlatency as autoinstalled;
2. Do you think it is normal/correct to have so many linux-image-* packages marked as manually installed?

I don't remember setting all of these/installing them manually. I believe in the past i have purged old linux-image-* packages which were some 5.4-lowlatency and then installed linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-20.04, but IMO all these linux-image-* packages should've been automatically removed as part of the numerous previous kernel updates i received.
