Ubuntu
update-manager package

Ran an automatic update last night, and I'm getting an error in installing two linux header packages.

Asked by Louisa Tsougaraki

It seems to be exactly the same problem as here, with exactly the same packages: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+question/259164

louisa@Nuk:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libbabl-0.0-0 libgegl-0.0-0 language-pack-kde-en linux-headers-3.2.0-27
  language-pack-kde-en-base kde-l10n-engb linux-headers-3.2.0-27-generic-pae
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  linux-headers-3.2.0-75 linux-headers-3.2.0-75-generic-pae
The following NEW packages will be installed
  linux-headers-3.2.0-75 linux-headers-3.2.0-75-generic-pae

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have started purging older kernel header packages as suggested in the link above, but I've not yet been able to get the packages to install.

Help would be appreciated.

Ok, I see.
You have a long list of obsolete image and kernel header files installed, that have used all available disk space.

Please issue the following command. You should select the whole block of lines at once and paste it into a terminal window.

sudo dpkg --purge \

When you have done that, issue the commands

Ok, first set of obsolete packages removed. The next step must be to get the package management system back in a consistent state.

Try the commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo dpkg --audit

and copy/paste the output into this question document like you have done before.

@actionparsnip

Thank you for your input! You need to break that down for me a bit more, though. Do I copy/paste the whole script there as it is, or run each command separately?

What is the above supposed to do? Does it follow on from what Manfred has been asking me to do?
(I know, lots of questions, but I'm trying to understand what I'm doing).

Best Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#9

The commands from actionparsnip are supposed to be executed one by one.

My suggestion would have been these commands:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.2.0-75-generic-pae
sudo dpkg --configure -a

(I assume both possibilities will achieve similar results.)

I went with Manfred's suggestion simply on the basis that I found it less scary.

These are the results:

It seems to have installed. Is there any further check I can do to see whether the system is now in order?

Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#12

It seems that your package management system is consistent again.

Now please execute the following commands to verify if there is anything else requiring actions:

sudo dpkg --audit
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
df -h
df -i
dpkg -l | grep linux-h
dpkg -l | grep linux-i

Ah. Yes. I clicked on the link and saw the script and got confused. I now realise what you meant. Sorry!

Your package management system seems in a consistent state again, and installing and updating packages should work again.

The only problem that I see is for the wuala package. It seems that they have changed their repository setup or have a problem on one of their servers, and so you always receive an error message when running "sudo apt-get update". You should try getting that sorted out. I do not know anything about wuala, so I cannot help.

You should purge more obsolete kernel and header packages.

I recommend that you install the Ubuntu-tweak package (from the tualatrix/ubuntu ppa). This program contains a Janitor function, and you can easily remove obsolete kernel and header files with that function. If you regularly (say once a month) use that, you should no more run into the "no space left" situation.

Thank you ever so much for your help! I'll try to sort out Wuala, and install Ubuntu tweak.
