/boot No space left on device

[ned]

I just tried to install the new kernel and I git this error

No space left on device

df -h /boot/
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1       488M  471M     0 100% /boot

If I list content no boot partition I get this

I thought that old kernels were removed once the new one is installed...

I removed 2 old kernels

apt-get remove pve-kernel-4.4.76-1-pve
apt-get remove pve-kernel-4.4.83-1-pve

this freed some space...and managed to install the new one...

i got this message

Setting up proxmox-ve (5.1-31) ...
W: APT had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back (6 vs 10).
   Affected packages: pve-kernel-4.13.13-1-pve:amd64

Is this something important?

I have the same thing, boot gets filled up. autoremove does what ever but does not touch boot.

after deleting some old stuff in boot I managed to finish apt --fix-broken install since it was even for autoremove complaining about the abroted install and no free space on boot.

then I purged like showen here:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-ve-4-4-kernel-update-failed.34796/post-170623

after that I emptied /boot with rm *18-xx* from everything expet the current (in my case 26) and the before last (in my case 25)

then a reboot and apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.

@mannebk and @ned: Maybe that can help you both as well:

The script takes care of several areas, including /boot.
Use at own risk though
