2012-07-27 02:27:31 Adam Conrad description This mut be reported somewhere already, but I couldn't find the bug. Basically, linux-headers-$(abi)-flavor packages are pulled in by the linux-headers-$(flavor) metapackage, which is all well and good, but this has two effects: 1) linux-headers-$(abi)-flavor and linux-headers-$(abi) are marked autoinstalled (this is good and sane) 2) when the linux-headers-$(flavor) package is revved, old headers become candidates for autoremoval even if their corresponding kernel is still installed The knock-on effect of (2) are obvious, I'd hope. If I have two kernels installed, but autoremove the headers for one of them, dkms won't update shiny new driver versions for the older kernel, X drivers and their kernels shims could get out of sync, etc. If linux-image-3.2.0-28-generic were to suggest linux-headers-3.2.0-generic, then apt decides that you still want your headers right up until you remove your kernel, which resolves the above oops.
