Thank you for the advice

It would seem that the partition that I am using for boot is full. However
it does not seem to be a simple matter to remove files from it. This is
the output from apt-get upgrade:

 sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
8 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
