Just doing a normal update and got errors (hopefully automatically included). The only thing that comes to mind to mention is that last update there was a new /etc/default/grub which differed slightly (only a comment line), otherwise this system normally receives updates without issue. Thanks.

You may need to run the following from a terminal:

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"

[Larry Fahnoe (fahnoe-9)]

Not a bug, please close.

Root cause is /boot being full due to my not cleaning up old kernel versions. A little housekeeping and all is well.
