4+ years and still not fixed. And no, to the many people who have listed how to "fix" it via apt commands, that is not a fix, that is a kludge. APT (in its myriad forms) is a package manager. That means these kernel packages should be managed. So here are the facts.
1: Ubuntu now suggests for partitioning a tiny /boot partition.
2: Ubuntu now pushes out several minor kernel updates per month.
3: Those kernel updates do not clean up after themselves.
Add those three together and it means every Ubuntu user will, I stress WILL, run into this problem in short order.
This is a core package, it is a managed package, this problem should be MANAGED, not kludged. But all I see in going back through the history of this bug is two things which should not be happening.
1: The bug being assigned out to someone only to be assigned to nobody right after it.
2: People disparaging others for wanting the issue resolved.
