When I am trying to install system update on my Ubuntu Server 13.04 AMD64 it returns the following message:

Now updating apparmor ..

Installing package(s) with command apt-get -y install apparmor ..

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-server:
 linux-server depends on linux-image-server (= 3.2.0.44.53); however:
  Version of linux-image-server on system is 3.2.0.53.63.
 linux-server depends on linux-headers-server (= 3.2.0.44.53); however:
  Version of linux-headers-server on system is 3.2.0.53.63.
dpkg: error processing linux-server (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-server : Depends: linux-image-server (= 3.2.0.44.53) but 3.2.0.53.63 is to be installed
                Depends: linux-headers-server (= 3.2.0.44.53) but 3.2.0.53.63 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

.. install failed!

I Have tried all the common things listed in the article below, but it still gives the same message. How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?

Hi, here is the output of that command:

sudo apt-get check

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Seems that the metapackages has some dependency issues, remove it and install it again, then upgrade your system as usual:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove linux-server
sudo apt-get install linux-server
sudo apt-get upgrade

I had the same issue. The following worked for me:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server
    sudo apt-get upgrade
