So I had a full /boot and I've really messed things up now. What I'd really like to do is run sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-{35,36,37,38} but I need to fix these other problems first. So when I run sudo apt-get -f install this is what I get (I also get similar output for any other apt-get commands)
$ sudo apt-get -f install

dpkg: error processing linux-generic-pae (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-generic-pae
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
But this doesn't tell me enough what the other error was. I think it started when I ran sudo apt-get -f install with only about 20MB of free space in /boot. Grrr, /boot partition is super annoying.
