Subject: [ISSUE] Old kernel versions not removed properly
Date: Sat, 03 Feb 2024 18:31:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gh-mailinglist-notifications-41a7ca26-5023-4802-975b-f1789d68868e-void-packages-48511@inbox.vuxu.org> (raw)

New issue by joshuakraemer on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/48511
Description:
### Is this a new report?
Yes
### System Info
Void 6.5.5_2 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrrrmmnFFFFFFFFFFFFF
### Package(s) Affected
xbps-0.59.2_2
### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
_No response_
### Expected behaviour
Before each system update, I check for installed kernels with `xbps-query --regex -s '^linux[0-9.]+-[0-9._]+'`, remove old kernel packages with `xbps-remove -Rf linuxX.X` and remove old kernels with `vkpurge rm all`. I expect all old kernels to be removed completely by those commands, including the corresponding header packages.
### Actual behaviour
Despite the procedure described above, old kernels don't seem to be removed properly. After an update carried out today, there are still multiple old header packages installed:
```
% xbps-query --regex -s '^linux[0-9]'
[*] linux6.0-headers-6.0.19_1 Linux kernel and modules (6.0 series) - source headers for 3rd party modules
[*] linux6.1-headers-6.1.71_1 Linux kernel and modules (6.1 series) - source headers for 3rd party modules
[*] linux6.3-headers-6.3.13_2 Linux kernel and modules (6.3 series) - source headers for 3rd party modules
[*] linux6.5-6.5.13_1 Linux kernel and modules (6.5 series)
[*] linux6.5-headers-6.5.13_1 Linux kernel and modules (6.5 series) - source headers for 3rd party modules
[*] linux6.6-6.6.11_1 Linux kernel and modules (6.6 series)
[*] linux6.6-headers-6.6.11_1 Linux kernel and modules (6.6 series) - source headers for 3rd party modules
```
During the update, DKMS modules for 9 kernels have been built (those even include kernel versions for which no headers are installed):
```

### Steps to reproduce
1. Check for installed kernels with `xbps-query --regex -s '^linux[0-9.]+-[0-9._]+'`
2. Remove all old kernel packages with `xbps-remove -Rf linuxX.X`
3. Remove all old kernels with `vkpurge rm all`
4. Update system with `xbps-install -Su`
5. Check for old header packages with `xbps-query --regex -s '^linux[0-9.]+-headers'`
6. Check for old kernel files in /boot/
