I want do upgrade my system.



apt update



Then:



apt upgrade -y



And i got this error:



Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

 linux-image-amd64 : Depends: linux-image-4.9.0-5-amd64 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


So i type this:

But got same error. I can't delete old kernels by this command:

    Can you paste the output of df into your question? If your /boot is a tiny filesystem, this problem will recur even if you manually clean stuff up now. We can point you to instructions on how to expand the filesystem size.

    Backup your /var/lib/dpkg/status file then edit the status file , remove the linux-image-4.9.0-5-amd64 with its description then dpkg --configure -a then remove the old kernels . Please processed carefully.

  • Can't you remove some old kernels manually from /boot? That should permit installing 4.9.0-5. But don't remove anything you might still need.
