I was installing a package (Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit) and was told there were dependencies not applied to my install. As advised I ran 'sudo apt-get -f install' to fix them, but ran out of space in /boot during the process. I freed up space in /boot but now, I can't apply anything because I'm in a loop of:

moodle:/boot$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  php-fpdf linux-headers-3.2.0-44-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-52-generic linux-  
  headers-3.2.0-44 linux-headers-3.2.0-51 linux-headers-3.2.0-52
  unzip libphp-magpierss mimetex smarty php5-curl libphp-snoopy

  linux-headers-3.2.0-51-generic php5-ldap linux-image-3.2.0-44-generic 
  linux-image-3.2.0-52-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  linux-server
The following packages will be upgraded:
  linux-server
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 112 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/1,734 B of archives.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-server:
  linux-server depends on linux-image-server (= 3.2.0.54.64); however:
  Version of linux-image-server on system is 3.2.0.58.69.
linux-server depends on linux-headers-server (= 3.2.0.54.64); however:
  Version of linux-headers-server on system is 3.2.0.58.69.
dpkg: error processing linux-server (--configure):
  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already

Errors were encountered     while processing:
 linux-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any suggestions?

try to run apt-get check, so that apt can verify if your box is OK and all package's dependencies are correctly satisfied

If your system isn't seriously broken, you'll be able to fix it with apt-get -f install. If its broken, you'll have to fix these dependencies by hand (I mean, using the dpkg command) before start using apt.

or maby

apt-get build-dep build-essential

aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade

will fix your system, i'v expirienced in the past that everytime i'm struggeling whit apt-get, installing build dep or build-essential fixes my issues.
