As a follow-on to something Telemachos said in another post:

I would have thought that removing a given kernel package would trigger the removal of the older kernel headers. Can someone confirm that is, or is not, the behavior? I ask this because it seemed to me that the older kernel header packages were indeed removed when I removed some older kernel packages. For example, the linux kernels I have installed are:

Also, the linux-headers packages I have installed are:

So, when I get around to removing the linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 package like this:

I would expect apt-get to automatically also remove linux-headers-2.6.25-2-amd64 and linux-headers-2.6.25-2-common. Is that what will happen, or do I need to explicitly state all three packages on the apt-get remove command?

Thanks,

You will need to specify apt to remove the kernel headers as well.
Also for removing files,i tend to use the purge option rather than remove.
I would do it like this:

This will remove all the files you want.
However if you use apt-get insteadof aptitude you will need to specify all dependencies you want to remove.

This is why i prefer to use aptitude instead of apt-get,because i find aptitude does a better job of removing dependencies.
Please note that this just my opinion,i am not trying to start an apt-get vs aptitude flame war.Use whichever works best for you.

Just to follow up on one other thing from the other thread. The first two linux-image packages (copied below) are not kernels: they're the virtual/dummy packages I talked about in my previous thread. If you don't want kernels to automatically update, remove them.

Thanks to the both of you for your help!
