Hey guys,
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on my machine and here's my problem:
While updating last night using the package manager GUI, my internet played up and some packages got missing. Foolishly enough, I continued with the installation of the packages, and the installation was aborted midway.
I got this message as the error message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
Now, I immediately rushed to a terminal and ran the command as told to, but no go, instead, I got this message:
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.85eubuntu39.3) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-24-generic:
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-24-generic depends on linux-image-2.6.24-24-generic; however:
Package linux-image-2.6.24-24-generic is not installed.
dpkg: error processing linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-24-generic (--configure):

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic
dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Now, the thing is, I can't install anything. I keep getting the first error message on trying to install.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks!
