description |
I have a /boot partition which is sized just right to accommodate 3 kernels, plus a little bit of overhead.
$ df -h /boot/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 280M 144M 118M 56% /boot
$
Previously, update-manager had no problem letting me upgrade kernels. With the latest kernel update in 16.10, I got an error message that I needed more free space on this filesystem.
After bypassing update-manager with 'sudo apt dist-upgrade', the filesystem's usage looks like this:
$ df -h /boot/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 280M 206M 56M 79% /boot
$
So update-manager is getting the disk usage requirement for /boot off by a factor of 2 (at least? I didn't save the error message from the dialog).
It's better to refuse to upgrade than to fail mid-upgrade due to disk space, but not if that means getting stuck forever with an old kernel unnecessarily.

[SRU Justification]
In some configurations, update-manager will refuse to upgrade kernel packages, citing lack of space in /boot even though there is enough space in /boot and if the upgrade is done with 'apt dist-upgrade', it succeeds. Affected users may as a result fail to have security updates applied to their system, unless they know how to run apt from the commandline or have unattended upgrades enabled.
[Test case]
1. Check the space currently used on /boot with du -sh.
2. Create a partition 120MB larger than the space used on /boot.
3. Copy the contents of your /boot directory into this partition.
4. Mount this partition as /boot.
5. Configure your system so that a newer kernel ABI is available (e.g., by enabling -proposed; or by waiting for the next kernel update to publish; or by downgrading the kernel using apt-get and rebooting).
6. Run update-manager.
7. Verify that update-manager refuses to upgrade, citing a lack of space in /boot.
8. Install python3-distupgrade and ubuntu-release-upgrader-core from -proposed.
9. Re-run update-manager.
10. Verify that update-manager proceeds with the upgrade, and that the upgrade succeeds, with no failure due to lack of disk space on /boot.
11. Repeat steps 2-9 with a partition that is only 60MB larger than the space used on /boot.
12. Verify that update-manager still refuses to proceed with the upgrade, with the packages from -proposed.
[Regression potential]
Since this changes the limit at which update-manager refuses to upgrade due to lack of free space, if the new calculation of the minimum required free space is too low, users may see update-manager proceed with the upgrade, then fail at the dpkg stage, requiring manual recovery.
[Original report]
I have a /boot partition which is sized just right to accommodate 3 kernels, plus a little bit of overhead.
