On both machines there are about 95MB left (/ /boot and /Var are on the same

Done... No success...


Yesterday I went back to my sister...

On both machines I could install new packages (but not new kernels), still
having the error message.

I did some other investigation and researches, coming to this:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929424

Adding `MODULES=dep` to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules
solved the problem on the laptop, but *not* on the desktop.

The latter has a lot more packages installed... I presume there is a bit less
free space on the partition and this could be the reason (?)...

Still I cannot understand...

Other ideas?
