First, I want to get rid of this message :

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-4.4-latest : Depends: linux-image-4.4.154-111-rockchip-g39b306a41b2d but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

then I want to free up /boot/

this command does tell me what can be removed:

root@rockpi:/boot# sudo dpkg --list 'linux-image*'|awk '{ if ($1=="ii") print $2}'|grep -v `uname -r`
linux-image-4.4.154-59-rockchip-g5e70f14
linux-image-4.4.154-95-rockchip-gd2ab1f26e1b3

currently boot contains:

my /boot partition was 100% full.

and I had previously attempted to install latest-linux kernal but its dependency was unmet because no space in /boot.

so first I removed linux-4.4-latest sudo apt purge linux-4.4-latest this got me rid of umet dependency error making way to execute the below purge commands successfully

the I ran sudo dpkg --list 'linux-image*'|awk '{ if ($1=="ii") print $2}'|grep -vuname -r` to find out what more can be removed

some old linux-kernel

then I ran sudo apt purge old-linux-kernel

this made extra space then I finally ran

sudo apt autoremove

which got rid of few more kbs of data and I was able to update to latest linux kernal.
