Comment 204 for bug 446146

@Patrick. Have you tried to remove kernel *-14? When I do with *-15 installed, Synaptic wants to remove the associated meta-package as well. (To remove the meta-package, would mean any future kernel upgrades would not be triggered automatically.)

With previous kernel upgrades, the earlier kernel can be removed and the meta-package is associated with the latest kernel. (apt-get -f install had no effect.)

Later, I uninstalled *-15 and it showed in Synaptic as an available package but, again, not as 'upgradeable'. Strange!
