[Bug 1085218] Re: upgrade to kernel 2.6.32-45 fails with "disk full error"

[Phillip Susi]

You seem to have a relatively small filesystem with few inodes, so yea,
I can see this happening if you keep several versions of the kernel
headers installed.  Glad you were able to sort it out.

Title:
  upgrade to kernel 2.6.32-45 fails with "disk full error"

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Unable to upgrade the package 'linux-headers-2.6.32-45' either using
  Update Manager or apt-get.

  Error: There are almost 3GB of free space, but apt-get says no disk
  space. See below for details.

  I attempted the usual tricks like apt-get clean, autoclean,
  autoremove, but it made no change.

  Kind Regards.

  $ sudo apt-get upgrade
