Bug #1624644 is a very old one, marked as fixed, with considerable discussion and confusion.
This bug is a clear indication that as of 16.04LTS, a bug exists with /boot filling up. Maybe it's the same cause, maybe it's different cause. This bug is trivial to reproduce: it happens on freshly installed stock no-changes versions of 16.04 if LVM is chosen, and the machine is left idle for 3 or more update cycles. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675079 Title: 16.04 LTS Partition /boot fills up with Kernel images, gets underwear in a twist Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On a 16.04LTS system, the /boot partition will eventually fill with Kernel images, until the point where "apt-get autoremove" can't complete. This issue has previously been reported as fixed, but it is not fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1357093 Generally what I see is the final kernel image that fills the drive is incompletely installed (the header package does not make it). "apt- get autoremove" tries to work, but fails. I must manually remove kernel images to free enough space. I see this on a machine used by my elderly parents, where 'Download and install updates automatically' is set. And on my home machines, where the setting is elsewhere.
