Bug Description
Every few months, the update manager blows up trying to install a new kernel because it has filled the /boot partition with obsolete kernel images. The system isn't happy again until I manually remove old kernels, run update-grub, and get the updater to fix its botched kernel install. I use a separate boot partition due to an encrypted root, which I set up through the Ubuntu installer, so space is limited.
