Hi all

My sister has a pc desktop and a laptop I installed to her with Chimaera some
time ago.

Yesterday she asked me to upgrade both these machines, so I did a
dist-upgrade from chimaera to daedalus on both, following this procedure:
- # apt-get update && upgrade (on the existing chimaera installation)
- change /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to the Daedalus repositories
- # apt-get update
- # apt-get upgrade
- # apt-get dist-upgrade

Now on both the machines I have this error (some part of the message is in
Italian, but I think you can understand the problem):

~~~
Elaborazione dei trigger per initramfs-tools (0.142)...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-16-amd64
W: No zstd in /usr/bin:/sbin:/bin, using gzip
cpio: errore di scrittura: Spazio esaurito sul device
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 2
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-16-amd64 with 1.
dpkg: errore nell'elaborare il pacchetto initramfs-tools (--configure):
il sottoprocesso installato pacchetto initramfs-tools script
post-installation ha restituito lo stato di errore 1
~~~

Some clarifications:
- / and /boot are on the same partition which has several GB of free space
- it cannot be resolved with (these commands lead to the same error):
    # apt-get -f install
    # apt-get dist-upgrade
- installed kernel is 5.10.0-16, not the 6.x kernel
- I can't install a kernel other than 5.10.0-16: I always get the same
error...

I can't figure out what the cause could be. But -- more importantly -- I
can't find a solution... Please help!

Another observation: searching online I found this:
https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.bugs.dist/c/lc3j09Tdu5M
The problem seems similar (even if it refers to a live-install) and the
resulting suspicion is that there may be some connection with the (infamous)
usr merge... But of course it may have nothing to do with it.

Please, help.
Thanks in advance

Regards
alexus
