package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-46-generic 3.13.0-46.75 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Quentin]

I was attempting to do a distribution upgrade, (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) as part of an update script I wrote. The process got hung up saying that there was not enough memory in the /boot directory. It prompted me to open up the disk usage analyzer. It tried to analyze the /boot directory but I couldn't really read it and closed the analyzer. I then CTRL-Z'd the script and tried to do it manually. When I tried to run either the upgrade or dist-upgrade script they would display an error message similar to if you already had an apt-get process running. update worked fine though which I thought was weird. I exited out of the terminal emulator and it had me do this bug report.
