Public bug reported:
I tried to "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and it stopped:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct
the problem.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

Maybe I wasn't smart because I created only 73M /boot partition years
ago. But it have been enough. Now I have normal and rt-kernel both. Only
way to solve problem was delete or move some files manually. So I found
there was backups of all the initrd.img -files. I moved them away from
/boot and so I was able to run dpkg --configure -a.
But are these backup files needed some day or are they there only "just
to make sure." Backup files took over 27M space, older normal and rt-
kernels and the updated ones, 4 files in all.
