Default kernel is still installed even when -v is specified
When I specify I want linux5.6 using the -v option, everything works as expected, but the default 5.4 kernel is still downloaded and installed. 5.4's headers are installed too, but 5.6's are not.
I added the -v option so I can try and tackle this.
I also noticed the default kernel stays installed, been meaning to fix this for a bit.
5.4's headers are installed too, but 5.6's are not.
Do you think specifying -v linux5.6 should install 5.6 headers? I suppose it should if 5.4 headers are installed by default.
5.4 headers shouldn't be installed by default. the default kernel stays because it's still pulled by base-system or whatever. not sure what pulls linux5.4-headers, but I assume something pulls linux-headers (dkms maybe?)
Hmm, I might have to think about this. Bc ideally specifying -v linux5.6 would install linux 5.6 then packages would install afterward. So if something like dkms requires linux headers it would grab linux5.6 headers not linux5.4 headers.
The "ignore a package" option which was discussed in a recent "alternate kernels" reddit thread comes to mind here. Maybe if you specify a custom kernel version it should install base-system, ignoring the linux package. Then install your custom version. I'll have to actually check about the "ignore a package" option to ensure that does what I want / I understand it correctly.
