Out of space error from dpkg, but I can't see where
While running 'apt updata' followed by 'apt upgrade' this morning I
got the following error from dpkg:-
...
...
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.148.3) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.12.63+deb13-amd64

I can't see any obvious lack of space on any of the 'real' disk drives:-
Filesystem Type 1M-blocks Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/t470--vg-root ext4 936644 201503 687490 23% /
efivarfs efivarfs 1 1 1 56% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
/dev/sda1 ext4 960331 18776 892702 3% /bak
/dev/nvme0n1p2 ext2 456 264 168 62% /boot
/dev/nvme0n1p1 vfat 511 5 507 1% /boot/efi
Even if I include tmpfs I can't see much wrong:-

tmpfs 772 1 772 1% /run/user/1000
tmpfs 1 0 1 0% /run/credentials/systemd-journald.service
The upgrade appeared to complete OK but it would still be good to know
what the 'No space' error was about.
Any ideas anyone?
