[Bug 241302] Re: package linux-image-generic 2.6.24.19.21 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

It is possible that /boot is out of space. I had this error trying to
install linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic (on Intrepid). Since Aptitude
wanted to try to install the new version before trying to delete old
ones, I had to rm some files there associated with old kernels, then
remove those kernel packages. A painful way to handle an inevitable
situation (since linux-image-* is never removed, and I have a separate
/boot because / is on LVM), with no help from the package managers.

Since this bug turned up in a web search, I'm leaving this comment here
for anyone else who may find it...
