Hi all,
I've got an old webserver running sites that can't really be taken down for any length of time on a 12.04 box that I have been quite happy with, updates have been running fine until this weekend and now I am getting errors when I try to update.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-generic:
linux-generic depends on linux-image-generic (= 3.2.0.96.112); however:
Version of linux-image-generic on system is 3.2.0.97.113.
linux-generic depends on linux-headers-generic (= 3.2.0.96.112); however:
Version of linux-headers-generic on system is 3.2.0.97.113.
dpkg: error processing linux-generic (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates it's a follow-up error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-generic
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I've tried freeing up space by getting rid of old kernels as suggested in many places http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2240240 for example, the partition was indeed full but I still end up with the same error.
Also tried cleaning (apt-get clean), but I don't think that's the issue either i.e. it has no effect.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, the webserver continues to run ok, but it does now have a lack of updates.
