   update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error message when there isn't enough  free space--or provide an automatic tool for removal of old files

Title:
  package initramfs-tools 0.136ubuntu6.6 failed to install/upgrade:
  installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess
  returned error exit status 1

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Nothing very interesting here, the /boot partition on this server is
  very small (240M) and the upgrade ran out of space while generating an
  initramfs image.

  I was able to recover by removing the oldest linux-image package.

  I was surprised that do-release-upgrade didn't check whether there
  will be enough free space in /boot beforehand.
