Public bug reported:
So this in not really a bug in the packages reported but in the default
installation of Ubuntu 14.04 and earlier at least. The boot partition is just
too small considering that automatic removal of old kernels is not available.
It's a small repetitive nuisance to me but must be a killer for people who just
uses Ubuntu and don't run uname -r or df -h /boot. The gui help opens disk
tools but is useless because it can't even see the kernel files.
Having removed all 3.* kernels it still looks like this, and the problem will
soon return:
/dev/sda1 236M 109M 115M 49% /boot
This is my desktop but I have witnessed the same problem on Ubuntu server
installs that otherwise run year after year without trouble, with automatic
updates and restarts.
