eclean-kernel claims kernels are unreferenced by grub2, even when they are referenced. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have at least one other kernel than the one running referenced by grub2 2. eclean-kernel -aA 3. Actual Results: Claims kernels are unreferenced and asks to remove them, even though they are referenced. Expected Results: Skip over referenced kernels and don't ask.
