On booting I am told that a system program has encountered an error and asked if I want to send a report. On saying yes I'm told that the bug has already been reported and that it is "update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space". This is so far from what is happening that it is infuriating. The basis of the problem is that /boot is not being cleaned up automatically. This was a bug which was supposedly fixed in 16.04 UTS, but apparently not. As a retired software engineer I know that I can clean up /boot manually, and have done so many times. However I shouldn't have to. Please stop classifying the /boot partition being full as "update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space". This bug (/boot not being cleaned up automatically) should be given the highest possible importance. It must be a complete turn of to any ubuntu user who does not have computer science skills (and to many who do).
