I'm getting the following error when running pretty much every apt-get command:
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-3.13.0-153-generic : Depends: linux-headers-3.13.0-153 but it is not going to be installed
I do not have enough space to run apt-get -f install (or -f autoremove) as suggested:
Unpacking linux-headers-3.13.0-153 (3.13.0-153.203) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.13.0-153_3.13.0-153.203_all.deb (--unpack):
unable to create `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-153/include/linux/lapb.h.dpkg-new' (while processing `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-153/include/linux/lapb.h'): No space left on device
No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.13.0-153_3.13.0-153.203_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
And I cannot remove/purge linux-headers-3.13.0-153-generic because linux-headers-generic depends on it. Even though I'm botting from another version:
$ uname -r
3.13.0-141-generic
So, I'm pretty much stuck here. I've seen other questions like this but answers are usually to remove/purge old kernels. I cannot purge/remove old kernels as it gives an error like in the first snippet.
- How can I remove 3.13.0-153 related packages?
- Is there an alternative way to safely remove packages to free up space?

Problem seems to be related to inode capacity in /usr:

However, most answers for freeing up space rely on apt-get. This is not an option here because of the problems stated above, and so I need another safe way to clear some space in /usr.
Hopefully this will allow apt-get -f install to add all missing dependencies.
sudo apt-get clean. Also please add output ofdf -hto the question. – N0rbert Jul 14 '18 at 13:56cleandoesn't seem to do anything.
