I reviewed the "Can't clean a full /boot because of unmet dependencies" and it cleared the boot to about 43% used on boot. Then I ran sudo apt-get autoremove and it put all of the linux-images back and I was full again with same problem. It looks like I'll have to backup my documents and do a complete install or use the clone-zilla image from two years ago.

I see that there a lots of problems with boot space. I have several linux computers with 14.04 and my major problem is with boot always being full. Is there a fix and a suggest process to fix this. It takes lots of my time?

I've written a tool that automates this chore, in case it helps anyone else: https://github.com/erichs/bootnukem. It removes unused kernel and kernel header packages, and is intended to be run periodically. If, when upgrading, you only need the currently running kernel (as a fallback) plus the latest available kernel, this tool might be for you.
