I think I resolved this.
If you look at the output of my "dpkg -l" command, you'll see
iU linux-generic-pae 3.2.0.41.49 Complete Generic
Linux kernel
and
iU linux-image-generic-pae 3.2.0.41.49 Generic Linux
kernel image
It says right there that these two packages are depending on
3.2.0.41.49, but everything else is depending on a 3.2.0.45.x version.
So, I purged those two items via
dpkg --purge linux-generic-pae
dpkg --purge linux-image-generic-pae
And then ran the apt-get -f install command to fix any broken installs.
It didn't report errors this time. apt-get upgrade is now running.
And if I do a listing again these packages are now reporting
dependencies on the .45.x version of the kernel.
Crisis averted. Now the real test will be to reboot the server and see
if I broke anything. I mean I did purge EVERY kernel except the latest...

This problem originally started when my /boot partition filled up. I
manually deleted some files, and then ran the command(s)
dpkg -P linux-headers-3.2.0-{27,29,31,32,33,34,35,37,40}-generic-pae
dpkg -P linux-headers-3.2.0-{27,29,31,32,33,34,35,37,40}
This should have purged any old kernels.
If I list the kernels with "dpkg -l | grep generic-pae" I see the
following:

kernel image
At this point, I *think* I should only have
linux-image-3.2.0-45-generic-pae installed, so I'm not sure how to
resolve this issue.
Any tips? The online stuff says the apt-get -f install should "just
work" now... I think it's wrong. :)
