I am trying to install the latest kernel, but when I run
sudo apt-get -f install linux-image-4.4.0-78-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-78-generic
I get this error :
Reading package lists... Done

And it seems to get stuck indefinitely...could anyone tell me how I can debug this, or recover from it?
Thanks.
edit: /boot isn't full, its got 254Mb free space
edit2: the problem seems to be with update-initramfs, when I run sudo update-initramfs -u its stuck indefinitely
