You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-87-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-87-generic but it is not installed
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-92-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-92-generic but it is not installed
 linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-92-generic but it is not installed
                       Recommends: thermald but it is not installed

I can see "failed to write (No space left on device) No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error" in the error output, so you probably need to free up some disk space first.

  • Ok when I run jan@XXXXX:~$ df /dev/sda1 482922 474149 0 100% /boot So it looks like you are correct and sda1 is full... any easy way to fix this? – Jan Zoudlik Aug 24 '17 at 10:14
  • note i am familiar with partitions etc... but never needed to deal with it on linux... can it be done directly from command line(from server itself)? – Jan Zoudlik Aug 24 '17 at 10:23
  • @JanZoudlik it should be possible. Your question has been marked as a duplicate of another (https://askubuntu.com/questions/171209/my-boot-partition-hit-100-and-now-i-cant-upgrade-cant-remove-old-kernels-to) and that other question has a few helpful looking suggestions. – JustAnotherCoder Aug 24 '17 at 10:40
