运行后
apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get install -f dpkg --configure -a 我得到以下错误：

我们看到df声明只有19MB用于/boot ，151MB可用。 但是目录列表显示了远远超过19MB的文件！
因此我猜测/boot文件系统已经损坏。
卸载并检查它：
umount /boot fsck -f /boot
这是一个典型的ubuntu问题（假设你已经安装了一堆旧的内核），旧的安装会填满/ boot。
看看目前的内核是什么：
$ uname -a
然后安装哪些内核：
$ aptitude search linux-image | grep '^i'
然后删除一些旧的未使用的：
$ sudo dpkg --remove linux-image-xxx-x-type
用第二步中的内核实际值replacexxx-x-type。 那么你应该可以继续使用apt-get install -f步骤。
