Comment 3 for bug 120489

I see your point, the causality of both this and 199086 are the same, /boot is full, preventing kernel-package from installing (which is what I was going on). I assumed that the fix to both problems would be the same. If you want this bug report to stand alone again, fine by me.

But it does seem that the Kernel Team is working on a scheme to auto-remove kernels using a 'last-good-boot' mechanism, thereby fixing both of these bugs by never allowing /boot to fill up. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/removing-old-kernels.

I guess the question is, if this fix gets implemented, can it be disabled? And if so do you still need a fail-safe check of free space in /boot either by kernel-package or by update-manager? Both?

Also can this bug, duplicate or not, be considered triaged? Can be considered confirmed?
