SYNOPSIS
- linux-check-removal VERSION
DESCRIPTION
linux-check-removal is intended to be called from the prermThe VERSION argument must be the kernel version string as shown by uname -r and used in filenames.
If the currently running kernel matches VERSION, linux-check-removal normally prompts the user to confirm this potentially dangerous action and fails if the user chooses to abort. There are two exceptions to this behaviour:
- If the current environment is a chroot or container, it is assumed that the running kernel is independent of any installed kernel package and the command always quietly succeeds
-
If debconf prompts are disabled, the command warns if removing the
running kernel but always succeeds
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
- DEBIAN_FRONTEND
- Name of the preferred debconf front-end. If set to noninteractive, debconf prompts are disabled and linux-check-removal always quietly succeeds.
- DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE
-
Name of the package to be removed, automatically set by dpkg.
