Many thanks for your replies. I was going by the descriptions of the Bug #1054927 reported by Henri Sivonen <https://launchpad.net/%7Ehsivonen> on 2012-09-23
This bug report is a duplicate of: Bug #1357093: Kernels not autoremoving, causing out of space error on LVM or Encrypted installation or on any installation, when / <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357093> in which identical errors were reported many times, up to 2016 I have the same bug in Xenial. My machine sent a report and the bug screen opened when opening Firefox: I am not sure whether in response to my search for full boot partition problem or not. It was very helpful anyway! I used only apt clean and apt upgrade, not dist-upgrade I think. However I have now solved it with Ubuntu Tweak, using the janitor. This is a copy of my comment sent at the end of the above bug report: I have the same bug in Xenial: reported today on request from Jarnos in bug #798414 on 2016-05-26 Fixed in Ubuntu Tweaks Janitor yesterday. Now I have plenty of room in boot partition. I am sorry to have caused confusion. I shall take note of your advice when updating/upgrading. There were about 15 old kernels and a lot of other rubbish filling the boot partition before the janitor was used!
