package linux-image-5.15.0-41-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: unable to make backup link of './boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-41-generic' before installing new version: Operation not permitted

[ebsf]

System: Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop.

This failure occurred after replacing GRUB with systemd-boot, which required (a) mounting the ESP to a new directory, /efi; and (b) replacing /boot with a symlink to /efi.

Other instances of this configuration but without the symlink failed to update the kernel, witn `uname -r` returning a prior version.
