description |
Unattended-upgrades and Update Manager use the patterns from the APT::VersionedKernelPackages list directly for finding kernel packages to remove while APT uses patterns by attaching version and flavor to them.
As a result in APT's script ".*-modules" becomes "^.*-modules-4\.15\.0-45-generic$":
...
for package in $(apt-config dump --no-empty --format '%v%n' 'APT::VersionedKernelPackages'); do
for kernel in $kernels; do
echo " \"^${package}-${kernel}$\";"
done
...
In unattended-upgrades and update-manager ".*-modules" is used directly for matching and may false identify autoremovable packages as kernel-related ones and remove them (of just offer the removal in case of update-manager):
...

[Impact]
* Non-kernel related autoremovable packages may be removed by unattended-upgrades due to their name matching generic patterns like '.*-modules' which should be applied to versioned kernel packages only.
* The fix corrects the way those patterns are handled.
[Test Case]
* test/test_remove_unused.py checks for correct pattern usage now.
[Regression Potential]
* Unattended-upgrades may stop removing autoremovable kernels, but the tests also contain cases covering this and u-u's kernel autoremoval still works.
