I fail to see how this is any package's problem. Your boot partition is too small to perform the requested operation. During compression it needs the space for the uncompressed files and the space needed for the compressed archive, so it generally needs (much) more space then it finally needs as the uncompressed files will be removed again once the compressed archive is complete. Solution: make your boot partition larger. Or remove older/other kernels, but IMO this will only delay the inevitable. Reducing severity to minor, but I actually think it should just be closed.

The firmware-nvidia-graphics package was created exactly because its size got big(ger) and (partially therefor) deserved its own package instead of making the firmware-misc-nonfree extremely large. That package is meant for 'the other' firmware which don't deserve their own package. The firmware-nvidia-graphics is recommended by firmware-misc-nonfree as the nvidia graphics firmware files were moved from the latter to the former. Solution: If you don't need firmware-nvidia-graphics, don't install it. If you do need it, but don't have the space for it, then increase your storage size. > I'm reassigning this to firmware-misc-nonfree As said above, this is IMO not any package's problem.
