由于安装了太多内核，我的空间不够了/boot。因此我尝试删除旧内核版本，但出现错误：
$ sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.13.0-86

这是什么问题？
更新：有些奇怪。按照说明这里我做到了kernelver=$(uname -r | sed -r 's/-[a-z]+//'); dpkg -l linux-{image,headers}-"[0-9]*" | awk '/ii/{print $2}' | grep -ve $kernelver，并且得到了

这就是为什么我尝试删除 linux-headers-3.13.0-87 但似乎它不存在。我做错了什么？
答案1
软件包linux-headers-3.13.0-86和linux-headers-3.13.0-86-generic已被删除。但它们都不包含任何文件，/boot/因此删除它们在这里没有帮助。
删除这两个软件包之后，apt 尝试继续进行待安装的软件包linux-image-extra-4.2.0-41-generic，但initramfs-tools由于 上仍然没有剩余空间，因此失败了/boot/。
您需要删除一些旧的linux-image-*软件包而不是linux-headers-*。
