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
in your boot partition.  Please resolve this situation manually and try
the update again.

Title:
  package initramfs-tools 0.103ubuntu0.7 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 1

  Invalid

Bug description:
  More of a broader version of Bug #1035647 as it applies to Ubuntu
  13.04 on a custom built machine.

  I believe it is a general programming error where somebody forgot to
  tell the program the difference between kilobytes and megabytes when
  adding the numbers.

  At any rate, I boot up my system and get a warning saying that the
  boot partition has 0 bytes left.

  Also something about apport-package not working. I forget what. Maybe
  I'll remember it in the next bug report.
