I second ~grey's assertion. I installed Wily 15.10 only a few weeks ago
and accepted the default /boot partition size suggested for use with LVM
and today was unable to perform a routine package upgrade due to a lack
of free space on /boot. I was able to work around the problem by first
listing installed kernel versions:
$ dpkg -l linux-image-\*|grep ^ii
ii linux-image-4.2.0-16-generic 4.2.0-16.19 amd64 Linux kernel
image for version 4.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-4.2.0-21-generic 4.2.0-21.25 amd64 Linux kernel
image for version 4.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-4.2.0-22-generic 4.2.0-22.27 amd64 Linux kernel
image for version 4.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-4.2.0-23-generic 4.2.0-23.28 amd64 Linux kernel
image for version 4.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-extra-4.2.0-16-generic 4.2.0-16.19 amd64 Linux kernel
extra modules for version 4.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-extra-4.2.0-21-generic 4.2.0-21.25 amd64 Linux kernel
extra modules for version 4.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-extra-4.2.0-22-generic 4.2.0-22.27 amd64 Linux kernel
extra modules for version 4.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
then identifying the running kernel
$ uname -r
4.2.0-22-generic
then purging old kernel pax
$ sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.2.0-{16,21}
and finally completing package upgrades
$ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
