dpkg-deb subprocess killed by signal (Broken pipe) in Boot upgrade

br flag

Hi I want to upgrade my app but I get this error :

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 : Depends: linux-image-5.15.0-48-generic but it is not installed
 linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-48-generic : Depends: linux-image-5.15.0-48-generic but it is not installed or
                                                  linux-image-unsigned-5.15.0-48-generic but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

After that, I ran the following command as suggested, but I got the arrow again:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Now what should I do to get rid of this problem? I should add that my boot space is completely full (260MB). Im in Ubuntu 20.04

If you have no free space on the drive or in a particular partition you can not do anything till you free up some space. You may also want to investigate why that space is full.

Never run out of boot space. You probably need to fix this, so you don't encounter the same problem in the future.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
