[Bug 1733796] [NEW] Inst upgrade - Not enough free disk space – error message - /boot

[corinne miele]

Public bug reported:

I get the following error message when installing ubuntu upgrades
'Not enough free disk space - The upgrade needs a total of 65.1 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 62.1 M of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.'
When checking trash & temp memory it is pretty empty.
When trying to use sudo apt-get clean, it shows that i have sudo installed already but only to analyse the disk not to clean the disk... and can't seem to find a way of installing that part since it confirms to me it is already installed.
I hope that with upgrades properly installed I can resolve other issues I have reported such as not getting audio when using the new skype for beta with ubuntu when making phone calls from skype to landline and mobile numbers which may be due to a missing upgrade of firefox and/or skype for ubuntu.
I also cannot de-install skype for ubuntu and try to re-install it as it doesn't appear in the list of softwares in software center/installed and doesn't appear either when i look for it with the search menu. I can't de-install it and re-install it.
Generally it seems I am missing bits of programs with those examples and I think it is due to missing upgrades...
You must know better though, thank you for your help.
