Updating Ubuntu 16.04

I haven't checked how the images are partitioned lately, but this error is typically due to the boot partition being too small for a kernel update to be installed, as they are normally installed side by side with the currently running kernel, in case there is an issue with a new kernel that prevents your machine from booting. If you have several kernel versions installed, it is possible to clean-up some of the older ones, and gain back space in /boot. This is a pretty common problem on ubuntu also, when you have a multi-partition setup... there are no end of people on the ubuntu forums wondering what is going on, and why Ubuntu doesn't do some self-cleanup every once in a while when updating! :-O

I'd be surprised if this is the case though, unless there has been a change in the last month or two whereby the kernel for the pine64 is now packaged in a repo and checked when running apt-get, instead of via the custom update-kernel and update-uboot shell scripts.
