Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  It seems that there was an error on your system when
trying to update the kernel on your system due to a lack of free space
on your system.  Please resolve this situation manually and try the
update again.

Title:
  package linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic-pae 3.2.0-40.64 failed to
  install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools
  exited with return code 1

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Indicated problem on terminal console was « no space left on device ».

  But even if it was no space when the system started on (because logs
  were too full) when I asked this update system disk left space was
  about 50%. And when this error was written the space left was about
  the same (I've controlled) :
