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
