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 or updates.

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

[Mustafa Kocaturk (murskt)]

Thanks for responding. I think this report was triggered by a new linux image installation failing because of lack of space in the /boot partition.
A re-install, using aptitude, after removing old kernels, had already resolved the issue before submitting the report.
The report was auto generated after a reboot. I filled and it as appropriate, then realized it was a duplicate.
It is a non-bug as such and may be closed :).

Best regards,
Mustafa
