[RndTbl] Removing old kernel images

I have a Ubuntu 10.04.3 (I know) system with many old kernel images. The
problem (maybe) is I've been told the system is out of inodes. I thought I
would try to get rid of at least one old kernel image, and this happens:

$ sudo apt-get -y purge linux-image-2.6.32-28-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  linux-headers-virtual: Depends: linux-headers-2.6.32-66-server but it is
not going to be installed or
                                  linux-headers-2.6.32-66-generic-pae but
it is not installable
  vmware-open-vm-tools-kmod-2.6.32-28-server: Depends:
linux-image-2.6.32-28-server but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).


Did I do something wrong, is there a simple fix, and/or is this related to
running out of inodes?
