Closed terminal by mistake while installing new kernel

Question

How do I reinstall it? I was using sudo apt-get upgrade and closed terminal before it finished. Now I get this error trying to install anything

E: The package linux-image-3.19.0-22-generic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

Try sudo dpkg --configure -a the reconfigure an interrupted install — chesedo, Jul 13 '15 at 08:53

sudo gives the command root access. Did you paste the part in grey from my comment in a terminal? — chesedo, Jul 13 '15 at 09:41
ok, next it should have asked for your password since we used sudo. did this happen? — chesedo, Jul 13 '15 at 09:44
ok, then try sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.19.0-22-generic — chesedo, Jul 13 '15 at 09:57
This worked for me sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq linux-image-3.19.0-22-generic — Manuel Reyes, Jul 13 '15 at 10:01

What does this have to do with [tag:do-release-upgrade]? Removed. — Blacklight Shining, Jul 17 '15 at 04:08
