    Stuck with error upgrading linux-headers

    Hi,
    I am stuck with an error updating linux headers that I am not able to resolve. When I type in

    Code:
    sudo apt-get -f upgrade
    Lubuntu proceeds to fetch the required packages, but then I get the following message:

    HTML Code:

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    In the message it says: "No space left on device". I don't get that, because when I run

    Code:
    df -h

    ...which seems to suggest that there is plenty of space for the updates.

    Thanks in advance!

    unable to create `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-29-generic/include/config/rtl8192cu.h.dpkg-new' (while processing `./usr/src/
    linux-headers-3.8.0-29-generic/include/config/rtl8192cu.h'): No space left on device
    I would guess that /boot is full.

    Thanks, removing some old kernels with Synaptic Package Manager solved the problem.
