Hi,
 Er - the real issue was that you ran out of space in /boot

with the janitor, - I thought you would be able to remove old stuff from /boot safely. with the janitor package, you can avoid this happening again by keeping the /boot drive relatively empty...

Once /boot is cleaned up, you could then apt-get install update/refresh the packages that should be in there.
 - forcing if need be.
In this case, force must be ok, cause it was installing kernel package X - but was stopped by lack of space.

So package X would have gone in. Now to force package X to go in - how can that harm things?

Cheers,
 Derek.

Cheers.

computer-janitor isn't installed by default on this server edition,
and the online man pages suggest that it's focus is less on this sort
of issue. I'll bear it in mind though.

Roy.
