首先我要说的是，我完全是 Linux 的新手。我在一台单独的机器上安装了 Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS，我用它存储数据和托管一些服务。我通常使用 Webmin 来更新我的软件包（和其他简单的东西），我已经很久没有这样做了。今天我尝试更新它们，这是我在每个软件包上看到的（215 次）：

Postfix configuration was untouched. If you need to make changes, edit

values, see postconf(1).
After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-generic-pae : Depends: linux-headers-generic-pae (= 3.2.0.37.44) but 3.2.0.38.46 is to be installed
linux-image-generic-pae : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic-pae but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
根据此错误消息中的建议，我通过 SSH 连接并运行：
sudo apt-get -f install
结果如下：

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

总体而言，我可以看出我有问题Linux-映像-3.2.0-37-通用-pae或者简称为“linux 内核映像”。
您能建议我应该采取哪些步骤来解决这个问题吗？或者有没有办法重新安装 Ubuntu 组件而不会弄乱我的配置？（有点像在 Windows 中？）请记住我是初学者。
答案1
您首先必须解决这个问题：
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic-pae_3.2.0-38.61_i386.deb (--unpack):
failed in write on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-38-generic-pae': No space left on device
No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error
您可以df在命令 shell 中使用它来找出哪个文件系统已满。
