package linux-image-2.6.32-41-386 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: failed in buffer_write(fd) (10, ret=-1): backend dpkg-deb during `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-41-386'

[apm]

I think the error of "broken package, failed to install" because I need to free up 20mb of space to add to device /dev/sda1/boot [type Ext4] which is almost full. However, I don't know how to do this as the /boot size [about 50mb] was set up when the disk was initially formatted and I think fixed.. Please advise.

It appears the .deb file is corrupt.

You may need to run the following:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"
