Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 5.9.11-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   upgrade linux-image-amd64.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   shortage of disk space on partition where modules are installed.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   unsuccessful upgrade, kernel package remained in status "broken",
   couldn't install, couldn't deinstall older kernels because the broken
   package needed to be fixed first
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   apt could estimate needed disk space; warn user, if there is not enough disk
   space available (broken down to partions)
