During a version upgrade, it is critical to check the space on /boot
before starting, because a failure will be catastrophic (as it was for
me). It is not enough to delete old kernel versions, because:
1. It is possible that /boot could be just slightly larger than the size of the
one current kernel, or
2. /boot could be huge but could be full of other non-kernel files.
So an "auto remove" will not really fix this issue. Therefore, as far as
I can tell, this bug should not be merged with 199086, There may be some
other bug out there that it is a duplicate of, but I haven't seen it
yet.
I have no idea if it should be marked triaged or confirmed. I just know
that it actually happened to me, as described, in 2007, and I'm trying
to avoid it happening to anyone else.
