No. I did this already and it went through smoothly. > try cleaning apt cache using apt-get clean if you never did before. Done, quite a few times (see my /var has 475M available). I guess it is /lib that has insufficient space. Are there any official requirements for a proper kernel update ? If not, I call this a bug. Any other good suggestions, please ?
