</span>"not installable" may indicate out-of-space/inodes. Or you have some<br>
weird combo of dep packages installed for the old kernel (-28) that<br>
aren't also in the new (-66). Perhaps the inode problem has screwed<br>
things up on earlier updates.<br>
<br>
I would start by clearing up several thousand inodes elsewhere on the<br>
system. This could be as simple as popping on a usb stick or external<br>
drive and mv'ing a bunch of stuff from a home dir or data dir to it<br>
temporarily. Once that is done, then fight with apt-get.<br>
<br>
Curiously, what does df -i / and df -k / say?<br>
<br>
Did you tweak the NBPI / other inode specs at mkfs time on this box?<br>
Very weird a non-tweaker user would run out of inodes these days... not<br>
like us inode tweakers :-) (Trevor motto: if it's tweakable, tweak it!)<br>
