My /boot/ sadly is full, so I cant use apt-get upgrade anymore, or similar things.

If I try to purge one of the kernels, with:

apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic

I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-server : Depends: linux-headers-server (= 3.2.0.41.49) but 3.2.0.48.58 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

And nothing happens after all. I cant use apt-get -f install, since the action fails due to a full /boot/. How can I force apt-get to delete one of the images?

Thanks for the help.

Here is an older thread :

You could use tweak or synaptic for to remove some of the older kernels.

I would let at least one older kernel of your choice "alive" - cause then you are safe for to boot for sure - in case the newest kernel does not work right after update, or after being malformed somehow.
