Dpkg: error processing package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-93-generic

Question

Unfortunately, apt-get always throws errors due to the 3.13.0-93 kernel package and I would like to get rid of them.

Also, there seems something broken with my grub configuration, since the boatloader only shows entries for

• 3.13.0-93
• 3.13.0-93 (recovery)
• memtest

If you need more information, I am happy to provide them.

Edit: autoremove yielded the following result, while the output of apt-get install -f stayed nearly the same after autoremove (same dpkg error, only less repetitions).
