Errors during autoremove

[marciano#1]

For 2 years I've been using v18.04. Trying to makeupgrades I was suggested by the system to:

sudo apt autoremove

The following packages will be REMOVED:
linux-headers-4.15.0-106 linux-headers-4.15.0-106-generic linux-image-4.15.0-106-generic
linux-modules-4.15.0-106-generic linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-106-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
9 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 333 MB disk space will be freed.

Mybe more information is needed. Despite the errors marked the process continues with some errors and finally ended with

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Thanks for any help.

marciano#1 - Hello

The line(s) " iF linux-image-4.15.0-10 4.15.0-109.110 ; iU linux-image-generic 4.15.0.109.97" suggest to me that at some point you ran short of disk space in /boot.
Show us what we have now for disk space:

df -h
df -i

And what kernel you are booting presently:

uname -r

See then what it will take to straighten the kernels up.

all in the process

[marciano#1]

df -h

df -i

https://pastebin.com/fNUT761F

uname -r

4.15.0-108-generic

I usually make updates from Desktop updates, not from shell.
Because of an error I went to command shell.
I don't know what to do with that data.
Thank you

what is the output of:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image | grep -v extra

Thanks

[marciano#1]

Thank you!

marciano#1; Well -

So far so good; we do have operating head room.

Let's first off clean out the 'rc' ( removed but config files remain) cruft:
While there is no built in way to remove all of your configuration information from your removed packages you can remove all configuration data from every removed package.

dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P

Now let's have a fresh look at what we are working toward:

dpkg -l | grep linux-

See what else needs attention besides linux-image-generic.

next step in that process

[marciano#1]

Here we go.
After:

dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P
dpkg -l | grep linux-

marciano#1; Hey -

Looking promising,

Let's see if apt will work its magic to fix the 109 version kernel -
run:

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-generic

which should pull in the missing 109 dependencies.
If so then we shift our attention to the 108 version kernel fixes.

we can do that

marciano#1; Wow !

Totally unexpected " Internal Error, No file name for linux-generic:amd64"
Ouch !
as we also have

and 17 not upgraded.

show us the results of terminal commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Maybe get a better hint of a way forward.

make the process work and work the process
