The update-manager estimate_kernel_size_in_boot() function contains the current bug, but this function also has no consumers anywhere except in ubuntu-release-upgrader. So I'm just going to move this code into u-r-u to avoid having to update both packages.

Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu 16.04 Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646222 Title: calculation of needed free space in /boot is inaccurate and causes refusal to upgrade Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Xenial: New Status in update-manager source package in Xenial: Won't Fix Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Yakkety: New Status in update-manager source package in Yakkety: Won't Fix Bug description: I have a /boot partition which is sized just right to accommodate 3 kernels, plus a little bit of overhead. $ df -h /boot/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 280M 144M 118M 56% /boot $ Previously, update-manager had no problem letting me upgrade kernels. With the latest kernel update in 16.10, I got an error message that I needed more free space on this filesystem. After bypassing update-manager with 'sudo apt dist-upgrade', the filesystem's usage looks like this: $ df -h /boot/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 280M 206M 56M 79% /boot $ So update-manager is getting the disk usage requirement for /boot off by a factor of 2 (at least? I didn't save the error message from the dialog). It's better to refuse to upgrade than to fail mid-upgrade due to disk space, but not if that means getting stuck forever with an old kernel unnecessarily.
