Bug#1076539: plymouth: Updating plymouth fails with "No space left on device"
Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 20240610-1
Followup-For: Bug #1076539
Dear Maintainer,
today I was hit by the reported bug on Testing. I find this extremely
unfortunate, as now I am unable to do anything that would trigger
updating the initramfs. This includes purging `plymouth` and
`firmware-nvidia-graphics` using `apt purge`.
I understand the desire for more space available on `/boot`. However, I
am very sceptical that breaking systems which are functional for a very
long time is the correct migration strategy. If not addressed, this bug
will break systems of users who want to upgrade from Bookworm to Trixie
after it is released. Again, this seems to be highly undesirable.
Are there any recommendations how this situation can be fixed? Right now
I am unable to update Kernels. Additionally, I am afraid to reboot. I'd
like to avoid having to change partition sizes, though.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best
Max Görner
