Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

upgrade-manager seems to miscalculate the required disk space in /boot for hardy -> intrepid (2008-09-02)

/boot is a seperate partition (200M) and had 60M free which should be fine for a new kernel but u-m wanted 201M free in /boot for the upgrade

as i pretty much expected do-release-upgrade -d failed as well:

Not enough free disk space

The upgrade aborts now. The upgrade needs a total of 151M free space
on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 53.9M of disk
space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of
former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.

but it seemed worth a try to confirm
