[Bug 1991477] Re: package linux-image-5.15.0-48-generic 5.15.0-48.54 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1

The error in your log is:

Processing triggers for linux-image-5.15.0-48-generic (5.15.0-48.54) ...
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-48-generic
cpio: write error: No space left on device
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 2
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-48-generic with 1.
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1

This is not a bug in initramfs-tools, per se; initramfs-tools can't make
your root partition larger than it is.  And you do not have a separate
/boot partition, so this is not a bug of an installer setting up /boot
to be an inappropriate size.  The only thing that can be done in this
circumstance is for you to free up some space on your root partition and
try to resume the upgrade with 'apt -f install'.

Were you running apt dist-upgrade manually to go from focal to jammy, or
were you using do-release-upgrade, the recommended tool?  The release
upgrader includes some checks to ensure sufficient free space before
committing to the upgrade, so we would want to know if those are
inadequate.
