Bug Description
I ran apt-get upgrade and update-initramfs failed. It turns out my boot partition only had 2.5MB left. Oops! I guess the bug here is that now I have packages that are installed but not configured. That's something I can fix, but my dad would be lost if it were his computer.

The reason /boot was full is that apt-get hasn't been cleaning up old kernels.
