[Bug 1778551] Re: Add linux-modules* packages to VersionedKernelPackages

[Seth Forshee]

Hmm, now that I actually look at how the file is used, I guess we could
verify the list generated by /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal,
couldn't we?

Title:
  Add linux-modules* packages to VersionedKernelPackages

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  == SRU Justification ==

  Impact: The 4.15 hwe kernel includes some package shuffling, so the
  VersionedKernelPackages list in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove needs
  to be updated to include linux-modules* packages.

  Fix: Backport the conf file changes from bionic.

  Test Case: Confirm that linux-modules* packages are autoremoved
  according to the same rules used for linux-image* packages.

  Regression Potential: Minimal. Probably the worst case is that some
  packages that should be autoremoved are not, but since these changes
  have been in use in bionic for a while now no regressions are
  expected.
