On a 13.04 install, apt-get crashed during a dist-update. Now, apt-get says 3 updates failed to install, namely linux-image-extra-3.8.0-25-generic linux-image-generic linux-generic
(exact error message at end.) doing a df -h, I see my boot partition is at 96% capacity: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/xubuntu-root 114G 29G 79G 27% / none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 1.9G 4.0K 1.9G 1% /dev tmpfs 378M 1004K 377M 1% /run none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 1.9G 80K 1.9G 1% /run/shm none 100M 12K 100M 1% /run/user /dev/sda2 229M 208M 9.3M 96% /boot /dev/sda1 190M 126K 190M 1% /boot/efi /home/redoubts/.Private 114G 29G 79G 27% /home/redoubts This reminds me of bugs past, where you guys resolved to clear out old kernel version from boot so this wouldn't happen.
