This issue made an upgrade fail in the middle which left my system
(12.04.5 LTS) with broken dependancies that are not trivial to solve:
"apt-get -f install" fails due to lack of inodes. "apt-get autoremove"
refuses to run due to broken deps, and so does "apt-get remove -f
$SOME_OLD_KERNEL_PACKGES".

In my case, the depending packages were luckily meta-packages (linux-
headers-server linux-server), so i could "remove -f" them, then
"autoremove" worked again a threw away lots of old header packages, then
re-"install linux-headers-server linux-server" and finally "upgrade".

Not sure how an unexperienced user is supposed to go about such a
situation.
