Title:
  linux restricted modules now fail to load beacuse of /boot volume full
  during Ubuntu Updater

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Bug #105113: (duplicate) Desktop should do free space check on regular
  updates too

  I wanted to report that I am still experiencing this same problem on
  Jaunty.

  During an Update Manger update of ~34 Mb which was mostly a new kernel
  image, there was a message about dependencies missing and I looked
  under "details" and it said that the boot partition had insufficient
  disk space.  I expected the process to finish normally; but, my /boot
  partition filled up (down to 3.7 MiB avail).

  I would expect the whole transaction to be rolled back; but,
  apparently the update process did not roll back.  Now, apparently the
  linux-restricted-modules package did not get installed/updated and
  causes this bug which is caught by Ubuntu soon after booting.
