I am running 12.04 LTS on a ASUS custom build server. I apologize in advance as my skills are a bit rusty in linux as I spend more time working with networking gear these days.
I am running sudo apt-get upgrade after I ran sudo apt-get update and I get the follwoing:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-server : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-39-generic but it is not installed
linux-server : Depends: linux-headers-server (= 3.2.0.39.47) but 3.2.0.40.48 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
So when I run sudo apt-get -f install I get the following:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic linux-image-server linux-server
Suggested packages:
fdutils linux-doc-3.2.0 linux-source-3.2.0 linux-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic
The following packages will be upgraded:
linux-image-server linux-server
2 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 124 not upgraded.
3 not fully installed or removed.

As you can see there is a disk full error message so I tried to purge some of the unused kernels following a process posted on another question I found.
I ran sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic where x.x.x.x is a kernal version I was not using but I get the same error of suggesting to run apt-get -f install I got when I ran sudo apt-get upgrade.
Is there something I am just not remembering to help me clear space up here or another way to purge unneeded kernel images?

Results of df -h. Couldn't remember that command for the life of me to see the space. Get a good laugh at the boot size especially since it is on that 500GB drive with not much being used there. I can't steal from /dev/sdb1 as that is isolated physical drive for share space among all users and can be taken out and moved to any system easily should the need arise.

Can't remember when I built this server but it will be the last time I let it select sizes for partitions automatically. I am guessing my best bet is to follow these instructions for increasing partition size? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1219270
Any worries with data corruption by stealing from /dev/mapper/NAS-root?
Well I finally cleared space up correctly but I am still getting a dependency issue when trying to run sudo apt-get -f install.

Not sure how to even begin to fix this issue since there is a newer version of the kernal file there but it is looking for an older version.
