  • See if this helps: APT wedged by kernel version mismatch – Aditya Apr 09 '13 at 11:47
  • Thanks for your help. I reference link and link. And entering command dpkg --remove linux-server, dpkg --remove linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic. After removing, I use sudo apt-get -f install, and it works good. – Ethan Apr 09 '13 at 12:34

This worked for me:

sudo dpkg --remove linux-server
sudo dpkg --remove linux-image-server linux-headers-server
# purge unused kernels, but could do more so your mileage may vary
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install linux-server linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic

  • Worked for me, thanks! However isn't it dangerous if you have a power outage and then your system is broken because no kernel is installed? – Konrad Höffner Mar 07 '14 at 09:46

For me the solution was different.

I used the command sudo aptitude, when the graphical menu appeared I used / to get a pop-up search field and find all the linux-header, linux-image, linux-server versions and removed all but the one currently used by pressing -.

To find the current kernel version I used uname -r.

Finally I installed a newer version of linux-{header, image, server} in the order specified by selecting them and pressing +.

To confirm the updates I used u.

At the end I rebooted and everything was fixed.
