Bug#849532: flash-kernel does not remove dtb backups
Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.72
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when a Linux kernel is installed flash-kernel creates a dtb backup file.
This file is not removed when the Linux kernel is remove. E.g.
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-4.8.0-1-armmp
left file
/boot/dtbs/4.8.0-1-armmp/imx6q-wandboard-revb1.dtb.bak
As it is flash-kernel that creates both the
/boot/dtbs/$version/$model.dtb
as well as the
/boot/dtbs/$version/$model.dtb.bak
files it should also take care of removing them fully.
The .bak file should not be created on the first install of a Linux kernel.
Best regards
Heinrich Schuchardt
