[Bug 1412097] [NEW] package linux-image-extra-3.16.0-29-generic 3.16.0-29.39 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

 

Public bug reported:

This seems to happen from time to time.  It's usually caused by images
that weren't removed after an update.  It's usually fixed by removing
images that were not automatically removed and so are cluttering the
device.  I will probably have the issue fixed on my machine before
anyone reads this.  The only reason I report it is because I'm betting
the average user can't fix the problem.

A good permanent fix would be to have Ubuntu automatically remove old
images on update to keep the space clean.  I'd love to help make this
happen but it's above my skill level.
