I should add that in addition to running Joseph Salisbury's (very kindly) suggested apt-get commands, I also inserted a command as a result of running the first. When I ran 'apt-get install -f' , the output suggested running 'apt-get -autoremove', so I did. In summary, you might try this:
sudo apt-get install -f sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update Then try installing updates. At any rate read the output of 'sudo apt-get install -f' and see what it suggests in your circumstances. hth -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1545501 Title: package linux-image-3.13.0-77-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1545501/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
