How to fix upgrade, install failure loop due to disk space issue












1















I'm running into an upgrade / install failure loop due to disk space, but I don't see which drive is full. I've tried clean, autoclean and autoremove, but to no avail. This is Ubuntu on AWS. There are a bunch of kernels in my /boot directory (listed at bottom), but I don't know how to clean this up, since clean, autoclean, autoremove didn't work. I've listed the upgrade, install and df command outputs below:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-virtual : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-59-virtual but it is not installed
linux-virtual : Depends: linux-image-virtual (= 3.2.0.59.70) but 3.2.0.60.71 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

  • p.s. I noticed that the error msg has changed from disk space to: No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already which is also related to disk space in the /boot directory

  • p.s. I noticed that the error msg has changed from disk space to: No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already which is also related to disk space in the /boot directory

I'm running into an upgrade / install failure loop due to disk space, but I don't see which drive is full. I've tried clean, autoclean and autoremove, but to no avail. This is Ubuntu on AWS. There are a bunch of kernels in my /boot directory (listed at bottom), but I don't know how to clean this up, since clean, autoclean, autoremove didn't work. I've listed the upgrade, install and df command outputs below:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

linux-virtual : Depends: linux-image-virtual (= 3.2.0.59.70) but 3.2.0.60.71 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I'm running into an upgrade / install failure loop due to disk space, but I don't see which drive is full. I've tried clean, autoclean and autoremove, but to no avail. This is Ubuntu on AWS. There are a bunch of kernels in my /boot directory (listed at bottom), but I don't know how to clean this up, since clean, autoclean, autoremove didn't work. I've listed the upgrade, install and df command outputs below:



sudo apt-get upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-virtual : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-59-virtual but it is not installed
linux-virtual : Depends: linux-image-virtual (= 3.2.0.59.70) but 3.2.0.60.71 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
