无法安装任何软件包

Question

所以我有了一个完整的/boot，现在我真的把事情搞砸了。我真正想要做的是运行sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-{35,36,37,38}，但我需要首先修复这些其他问题。因此，当我运行sudo apt-get -f install时，这就是我得到的结果(对于其他apt命令，我也得到了类似的输出)

$ sudo apt-get -f install

但这还不足以告诉我另一个错误是什么。我认为它是在运行sudo apt-get -f install时开始的，/boot中只有大约20 in的空闲空间。/boot分区非常烦人。

为什么不使用Debian包管理系统- dpkg？

只需使用以下命令删除旧内核：

# dpkg -P linux-image-3.2.0-{35,36,37,38}*

好的，在这里找到了解决方案：https://askubuntu.com/a/183625/7945

我需要手动编辑/var/lib/dpkg/status并删除linux-generic-pae包，然后能够运行清除命令，然后重新安装linux-generic-pae。我做sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-generic-pae只是为了确定。
