[Bug 855269] Re: Could not install "linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic" during upgrade to 11.04

[Saul Tobin]

After closing the update-manager, I attempted to run:

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic

This gave me a lengthy error that suggested there was not enough space
to install. It turns out my /boot partition was full, so I removed some
old linux-image packages and ran:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic
sudo dpgk-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic

This appeared to be successful. I will now reboot and see if it actually
was. Assuming it works, it would appear that the bug is the update-
manager not checking if there is enough space in a separate /boot
partition. The update-manager noticed there wasn't enough space in / and
aborted, but it apparently doesn't check for multi-partition schemes.
