[Bug 1271784] Re: Upgrade from 10.04.04 to 12.04 : while processing linux-headers-3.2.0-58_3.2.0-58.88_all.deb

OK so we've discovered that I ran out of inodes in the middle of the
upgrade (AFAICT).

I saw that I had a butt load of linux-headers (stale/old) in /usr/src.

I couldn't properly remove them via "sudo apt-get remove --purge" because of the bad state of apt, so I forcibly removed them (sudo rm -Rf) the last 4x.  Now i have more free inodes yay:
