Hi

tonight my ansible stopped execution with the message

TASK [Reboot the box if kernel updated] ****************************************
fatal: [*$Hostname*]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "elapsed": 0, "msg": "Running reboot with local connection would reboot the control node.", "rebooted": false}

Now there are no new kernels to install, because the system is up to date.
Last kernel install was Feb 7 06:49

/ ls -tlah vmlinuz*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 7 06:49 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-14-amd64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb 7 06:49 vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-13-amd64
/boot # ls -tlah vmlinuz*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.1M Jan 30 10:35 vmlinuz-4.19.0-14-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.1M Nov 28 08:47 vmlinuz-4.19.0-13-amd64

looking at the kernels I find this
dpkg -l 'linux-image-*-unsigned'

These packages are not installed on your computer.
This group contains 7 packages.

What are these unsigned packages for ?

Why does the system want install some unknown kernels as the actual signed package is already installed ?

Three month ago I had a strange collapse of my debian,
as the directory /usr was empty over night.
System was unusable and I made a fresh install of devuan instad of debian.
I planned this anyhow.
Is there something spooky going on ?
Is something compromised on this system ?
