Source: linux
Version: 6.0.7-1
Severity: normal


Hey.

When I tried out some recent patch from the intel folks for i915,
I built a custom kernel as described in:
https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official


Now before I installed the custom built debs, I wanted to make
sure the Debian ones are gone completely so I purged them, causing
apt to:
  Purging configuration files for linux-image-6.0.0-3-amd64 (6.0.7-1) ...
  W: Last kernel image has been removed, so removing the default symlinks
  rmdir: failed to remove '/lib/modules/6.0.0-3-amd64': Directory not empty

$ diff -qr --no-dereference /lib/modules/6.0.0-3-amd64/ 6.0.0-3-amd64/
Only in 6.0.0-3-amd64/: build
Only in 6.0.0-3-amd64/: source

with the former being again a completely fresh installation of the
Debian package, and the latter begin a copy from the Debian package's
dir, after I had built my custom kernel and before I purged the package.

l 6.0.0-3-amd64/build 6.0.0-3-amd64/source
lrwxrwxrwx 1 calestyo calestyo 36 Nov  5 14:41 6.0.0-3-amd64/build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-6.0.0-3-amd64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 calestyo calestyo 37 Nov  5 14:41 6.0.0-3-amd64/source -> /usr/src/linux-headers-6.0.0-3-common

I guess something during the build process creates these symlinks?


So either, that shouldn't happen in the first place. Or removing the
package should clean it up.
I'd guess the former?


Thanks,
Chris.
