Title:
  update-manager checks for free space in /boot when the operation would
  actually free space

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'd run an apt dist-upgrade operation on Groovy and then update-
  manager popped up. The only operation was removing of packages but
  when I clicked "Install" I was presented with the dialog that there
  was not enough free space in /boot for the operation to continue. Of
  course this doesn't make any sense when the operation is going to free
  space in /boot!
