No room on /boot for updates

I think you need to expand the room of /boot…
As for me, I expanded 350MB for /boot, and now I can update software freely.
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to expand it. It’s a Japanese software, I don’t know whether there is a English version or not. It can change the sizes of the partitions without harming data.
Or you can use diskgenius, a Chinese sofeware. I think it’s the same to MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Both of them are FREE!

To enlarge the boot partition, there is no need to copy it to another place. I did it this way using gparted on another computer:

  1. make the root partition smaller by x bytes
  2. move the root partion to the right by x bytes (this step will take some time)
  3. now there is a gap between boot and root partition
    enlarge the boot partition to fill the gap

The easier way - as indicated by some - is to use sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. After doing so, the update manager confirms that the software is up to date.

I solved this with a really simple solution. I opened gparted, unmounted /boot and re-run the update. It works!
