This may happen, if you boot one of the older kernels, that is not protected by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels
Workaround: run
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/&apt-auto-removal
during each boot (e.g. by using cron).
In shell:
$ uname -r
4.4.0-22-generic
$ apt-get -s autoremove
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

[Impact]
APT will try and fail to remove the currently running kernel, when booted into an older kernel that is not protected. May wreak some havoc if mixed with other operations to the point that apt goes weird and needs manual fixing up.
[Test case]
- Install new kernel
- Reboot into kernel not listed as protected in 01autoremove-kernels
- Run autoremove
[Where problems could occur]
We may more easily run out of space in /boot. hirsute has new autoremoval code that runs completely at runtime; but that seems a bit large to SRU after only a few weeks in hirsute. Hence, we should protect the current kernel _in addition_ to the other kernels, just like unattended-upgrades and update-manager do. This increases the risk of filling up /boot compared to older apt versions, but is at the same level as unattended-upgrades and update-manager.

[Impact]
APT will try and fail to remove the currently running kernel, when booted into an older kernel that is not protected. May wreak some havoc if mixed with other operations to the point that apt goes weird and needs manual fixing up.
[Test case]
For the SRUs we have included an automated test case that starts with an empty autoremove config file, and then checks that the running kernel is protected at runtime.
You can also test manually, but it's not necessary:
- Install new kernel
- Reboot into kernel not listed as protected in 01autoremove-kernels
- Run autoremove
[Where problems could occur]
We may more easily run out of space in /boot. hirsute has new autoremoval code that runs completely at runtime; but that seems a bit large to SRU after only a few weeks in hirsute. Hence, we should protect the current kernel _in addition_ to the other kernels, just like unattended-upgrades and update-manager do. This increases the risk of filling up /boot compared to older apt versions, but is at the same level as unattended-upgrades and update-manager.
[Original bug report]
This may happen, if you boot one of the older kernels, that is not protected by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels
Workaround: run
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
during each boot (e.g. by using cron).
Note: The workaround breaks autoremoving feature of new unneeded kernels in unattended-upgrades i.e. the setting 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies "true"' (which is default in 16.04 unless 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true"' is set in '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades'.
In shell:
$ uname -r
4.4.0-22-generic
$ apt-get -s autoremove
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
