I am not on Karmic but Oneric and the problem is still present.  I went
to patch the kernel and started getting Out of disk space error messages
from apt, aptitude, and dpkg.

When I looked at df, it was showing 83% usage.  I couldn't understand
why the disk was "full".  Then I found this thread which describes the
problem EXACTLY on Lucid -
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454052

When I looked at df -i it was 100%.  I had to remove some of the old
kernels in order to complete the update.  This freed up enough inodes
that the update was finally successful.
