[Bug 407614] [NEW] linux restricted modules now fail to load beacuse of /boot volume full during Ubuntu Updater

[Steven Almeroth]

Public bug reported:

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.
