Title: Bump minimum /boot size in ubuntu-release-upgrader Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in kernel-package package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-kernel-headers package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-restricted-modules package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: System information: ubuntu 23.04 x86_64 6.2.0-24-generic Upgrading the system: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a Setting up linux-firmware (20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.2) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.2.0-24-generic I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/dm-2 I: (/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1) I: Set the RESUME variable to override this. zstd: error 70 : Write error : cannot write block : No space left on device E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -1 -T0 70 Check space left (none): $ df -h /boot Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb2 707M 693M 0 100% /boot What is required is to remove older kernels (and purge them most likely). List all the installed kernels except the current one: $ dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' linux-headers-6.2.0-23 linux-headers-6.2.0-23-generic linux-headers-6.2.0-25 linux-headers-6.2.0-25-generic linux-image-6.2.0-23-generic linux-libc-dev:amd64 linux-libc-dev:i386 linux-modules-6.2.0-23-generic linux-modules-6.2.0-25-generic linux-modules-extra-6.2.0-23-generic linux-modules-extra-6.2.0-25-generic Is not possible to uninstall any kernel because fails: $ sudo apt purge linux-headers-6.2.0-23 E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. Reconfigure fails again so some kernel have to be manually removed to free up space: $ sudo rm /boot/initrd.img-6.2.0-23-generic $ sudo rm -rf /boot/initrd.img-6.2.0-25-generic.new Now you can reconfigure: $ Remove kernels: $ sudo apt purge linux-headers-6.2.0-23 linux-headers-6.2.0-23-generic linux-headers-6.2.0-25 linux-headers-6.2.0-25-generic linux-image-6.2.0-23-generic linux-modules-6.2.0-23-generic linux-modules-6.2.0-25-generic linux-modules-extra-6.2.0-23-generic linux-modules-extra-6.2.0-25-generic Reboot: $ sudo reboot Upgrade as usual: $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade Before upgrading new kernels I need to check for free space and remove older kernels manually. Fix this so there's only one kernel left.
