[Bug 1207809] Re: package linux-image-extra-3.8.0-27-generic 3.8.0-27.40 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1

[Fran Cool]

/boot partition space is not enough (as for Bober-182 and abdillah96-bu), and I get bug #798414.
sudo apt-get autoremove (as told by brian-murray) worked once or twice. Now it displays a long error message and update tentative leads to this situation (bug #1207809) without updating system. Did I remove a part of a kernel that was not "old" but in use ?
Will /boot partition be automaticaly cleaned in the future (13-10) ?
