Dear contributors, sorry for opening a new Issue here. I feel it is necessary since it leads to softwarebrick especially for inexperienced / new LM users. This is very unfortunate, since they will go back to MS. Please prioritize
I am very thankful for your work, so please do not get me wrong.
Describe the bug
Old kernel keep accumulating until /boot/ is full even with "/Update Manager/Edit/Preferences/Automation Tab/delete old kernels" activated (should be default in my opinion)
The GUI will give a warning („Disk Usage Analyzer“). If no manual terminal Kung fu is known (only manual apt-get purge image... worked, no autoremove --purge, no apt-mark auto), this will lead to a system unable to update. In the case I supported a new user. The system was totally unusable (apt was broken).
The original issue: #938
Expected behavior
delete old kernel automatically leaving only the last two recent by default
Distribution:
Software version:
LMDE 7
Logs:
Copy & paste the log output from Update Manager > View > Information here.
Crash report:

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem you think might be relevant.
Locale:
