** Description changed:

  Update manager says there are some updates for me to install but (as of
  yesterday - 15th Aug 2014) it can't install them because there isn't
  enough space in /boot. It suggests emptying the recycle bin (I have) and
  using 'sudo apt-get clean' to remove temporary packages from previous
  installations (I have).
  
  That doesn't work. Also, I only installed 14.04 fairly recently (in the
  last month) from scratch (no upgrade) using the default installation
  options for partitioning etc (as far as I know) so it shouldn't have
  filled up like this. I also ran 'sudo apt-get autoremove' then 'sudo
  apt-get clean' but no success either.
  
  I'm on a 256 GB SSD (Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition) with an encrypted
  harddrive.
  
- I know I *could* spend some time hunting around for instructions to remove old kernel packages from the command line but there really aren't that many there and it's a pretty poor user experience if that is required. I'm guessing that's not the intention so I can only think that this is a bug...
