upgrade fails with unmet dependencies

Hi,

this is most likely the well known separated /boot partition issue.

As already pointed out by the messages and by Karl, running

  sudo apt autoremove

will remove those packages, resp.

  sudo apt autoremove --purge

see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels , you perhaps
want to read "Automatic Maintenance".

Btw. if you don't have a very good reason to use a separated /boot
partition, simply move it to / and remove the /boot entry from fstab.

I'm using a separated /boot partition, just to avoid chainloading by my
bootloader of choice, "syslinux". At least to avoid chainloading,
you don't need it when using "grub".

Regards,
Ralf
