Fixing or removing packages, broken pipe Ubuntu 11.10

[Resplendent Raven]

11GB is small for a root partition (95% full!), I'd make it twice as big if possible.

Hmm I was under the impression that should be quite enough.
Any ideas how I could remedy this?

I already tried to remove some software, but because of the broken pipe errors I can't install or remove...

The first didn't seem to do anything, the second returned no error messages.

The third returns this:

Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen... Klaar
Boom van afhankelijkheden wordt opgebouwd       
Statusinformatie wordt gelezen... Klaar  
U kunt 'apt-get -f install' uitvoeren om dit op te lossen.
De volgende pakketten hebben niet-voldane vereisten:
 linux-headers-3.0.0-29-generic : Vereisten: linux-headers-3.0.0-29 maar het is niet geïnstalleerd
 linux-headers-generic-pae : Vereisten: linux-headers-3.0.0-30-generic-pae maar het is niet geïnstalleerd
E: Er zijn vereisten waaraan niet voldaan is. Probeer -f te gebruiken.

Pakketlijsten=Packetlists
Boom van afhankelijkheden=Tree of dependencies

Try

sudo apt-get -f install

If that fails, see

Thank you oldos2er, after looking on that page I decided to remove some of my older kernels (including .29)
And the problem seems to be gone.

bodhi.zazen, I had tried sudo apt-get -f install a few times, but that never helped either.
It seems I just needed synaptic manager to remove some older kernels including the failed .29 install.

You're welcome.

Hi Resplendent Raven to free up even more hard drive space you can try this commands:

- to erase downloaded archive files
and

 sudo apt-get autoremove

- to Remove automatically all unused packages
check

 man apt-get

for more information.You can free up to 1Gb or more.Good luck .
