Avoid indefinite growing of apt caches and old kernel images

Description

Instance cvn-apache8 was created in April 2015 from a standard Ubuntu image.

No modifications have been made. It should be as plain as the vast majority of labs instances out there I imagine.

This morning I noticed the root partition ducked under 15G of free space. There is nothing that I set up on the instance that uses the root partition.

I ran apt-get clean and apt-get purge followed by apt-get autoremove.

P2637 cvn-apache8: apt-get clean, purge, and autoremove

Firstly, I'm curious what this error is about:

N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension

Secondly, is there something we can do to avoid the indefinite growth (if it is indeed indefinite) of apt caches and old kernel images? That would help lower the required dull maintenance for each instance and make things more unattended.

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist is covered by T110055.

For "the other direction", we rely on apt::unattendedupgrades which uses the standard package unattended-upgrades. Is there a similar standard solution in Ubuntu/Debian to clean those caches?

This still happens sometimes on our current Debian VMs. Some timer or cron that runs apt clean once in a while would fix things.

Old kernels is harder.

There is a setting for unattended upgrades that allows it to remove old kernels, but I think that should be optional via hiera. I'll propose a patch for that.

Testing the kernel removal option on toolsbeta-workflow-test

• Bstorm added a comment.Jun 26 2020, 5:40 PM

So I can confirm that the daily autoclean is working. The kernel removal seems overridden by options in the upstream config.

• Bstorm closed this task as Resolved.Jun 26 2020, 7:13 PM

Ok, I've reverted kernel cleanup options. I think that the deprecation schedule should honestly take care of long tails of kernels anyway. I'm going to call this done.
