Thanks for the logs. It looks like there are diskspace issues on /boot that caused the problem:

Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic
dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I appears that the free space calculation got it wrong:

2008-04-28 05:15:04,908 DEBUG dir '/boot' needs '20971520' of '<DistUpgradeController.FreeSpace object at 0xbaa9cec>' (22050816.000000)

It calculated it would need 21.0M when 22.1M were avaialble. Apparently that was not enough. Could you please attach the output of:

$ ls -l /boot

to this bugreport?
