ended up manually deleting some folders in /usr/src. I thought those are
removed when I purge kernels using purge-old-kernels command.

@Nils Toedtmann +1. Indeed, this is not about unattended-upgrades.
@Brian Murray, Thanks, I hope you are right, and marking this a duplicate leads
to solving this 5+ year bug.

Ben, it would probably be best to file a new bug; this one is filed
against update-manager, which I suspect isn't in use on the server in
question. Maybe file it against apt, since the /etc/kernel/postinst.d
/apt-auto-removal file that should have managed this is owned by apt.
Thanks

I created a high level tool called linux-purge to recover system when
this problem appears.
In this case you would run
sudo linux-purge --fix

The script can be used for automatic removing of old kernels, if run as
cron job or as
I think expected behavior would be that Software Updater refuses to
start update, and displays error dialog instead, if the update would
consume all left inodes. There is a check for free space i.e.
self.cache.checkFreeSpace() python method, but apparently it does not
catch this case. See also Bug

As for #21, I found out that even dpkg --purge needs some free inodes
under /var. My script can handle it, if /var is in the same partition as
/usr/src; it just removes the selected header version's directories from
/usr/src and purges the related versioned kernel packages by dpkg
thereafter. I
As for Unattended Upgrades, you can configure it to remove unneeded packages
automatically before a dependency problem or an inode problem occur:

I am not sure, if it works on 12.04, though, but I have used it successfully
Does purging some header package by dpkg --purge work, if the system has
ran out of free inodes? As for broken dependencies, it works better than
apt-get (provided that you list all depending packages when purging).

In fact I wasn't able to use apt-get remove, because it tried to do apt-

I wasn't comfortable removing anything manually because I didn't know

@algal If your system is able to remove packages (apt-get remove) do the
following:
1. List installed kernel headers packages:
dpkg --get-selections | grep -E '^linux-headers-[1-9].+[[:space:]]install$'
2. Remove the oldest ones (replace ...):
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-...

This bug is quite annoying. I ran into it, too. And I tend to be more
one of the "more regular users" that doesn't see an "easy high lever
approach to solve this", as the reporter said.
Please build a cleanup script into the upgrade procedure that purges all
kernel files and headers of versions
My workaround:
dpkg --get-selections | grep 'linux-'
dpkg --get-selections | awk '/linux-(headers|image)-[0-9]\./ { print $1 }' |
grep -v $(uname -r | sed -e 's/-generic//') | sort -r -V -t- -k3 | tail -n+4
| xargs -r apt-get -qq -y purge
apt-get -qq -y install linux-{headers,image}-$(uname -r)

/usr/src)

This issue made an upgrade fail in the middle which left my system

Note that automatic updates (e.g. unattended-upgrades) will even more
likely bring you into this situation. And because of bug #1267059, even

Yes, I'm an experienced user and I too have spent a lot of time tracking

I'd also suggest that the system warns a user when a filesystem is close

This just happened to me on another 10.04.4 server installation. All
while trying to upgrade kernel versions. This is an LTS version, and it
has support until April 2015, however the old headers are still
accumulating and eating inodes.
