  • Bug#871308: upgrade-reports: update to stretch, old-dkms not remove aut

    From Clara Pogner@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 7 18:20:01 2017

    Package: upgrade-reports
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainer,

    I wanted to upgrade my system to stretch and had the problem of not enough space in /boot, old files with the ending initrd.img-*.old-dkms were lingering arround (see below) and have not been automatically removed by the upgrade or upgrades before.

    It would be nice, if these files would be automatically removed when the old kernels are removed.

    Thanks for the efford!
    Clara

    Hi Clara,

    Thanks for reporting this issue.

    Can you share with us which dkms modules you had installed and if any of
    them are in the "config-files" state ("rc").

    The output of either:
    * aptitude search dkms
    * dpkg -l | grep dkms
    should answer the latter.

    Thanks,
    ~Niels
