Comment 0 for bug 1675079

On a 16.04LTS system, the /boot partition will eventually fill with Kernel images, until the point where "apt-get autoremove" can't complete.

This issue has previously been reported as fixed, but it is not fixed:

Generally what I see is the final kernel image that fills the drive is incompletely installed (the header package does not make it). "apt-get autoremove" tries to work, but fails. I must manually remove kernel images to free enough space.

I see this on a machine used by my elderly parents, where 'Download and install updates automatically' is set. And on my home machines, where the setting is elsewhere.
