Ubuntu 16.04 I pacchetti del kernel non funzionanti non mi consentono di installare o rimuovere nulla con Apt-get?

Ogni volta che provo a fare qualcosa con apt-get, sia che si tratti di installare, rimuovere, eliminare, aggiornare, aggiornare, vengo sempre colpito dallo stesso errore.

Ho provato a seguire questa domanda ma senza fortuna:
Apt non riesce a rimuovere il kernel parzialmente installato e non può installare altri pacchetti

controllando il file di stato dpkg vedo che entrambi i pacchetti sono installati a metà

Package: linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic
Status: deinstall ok half-installed
Priority: optional
Section: kernel
Installed-Size: 158607
Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <[email protected]>
Architecture: amd64
Source: linux
Version: 4.4.0-38.57
Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic, crda | wireless-crda
Description: Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
 This package contains the Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on
 64 bit x86 SMP.
 .
 Also includes the corresponding System.map file, the modules built by the
 packager, and scripts that try to ensure that the system is not left in an
 unbootable state after an update.
 .
 Supports Generic processors.
 .
 Geared toward desktop and server systems.
 .
 You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install
 the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work
 correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed.

dopo aver rimosso manualmente i pacchetti del kernel secondo le istruzioni di user.dz
paste.ubuntu.com/23487716

nel frattempo durante sudo apt-get install -f Ubuntu mi ha avvisato di un errore di sistema

Risposta accettata:

Nota: Come ChaiT.Rex ha commentato di seguito, sono necessari solo i passaggi 4 e 5 per risolvere il problema.

Lascio i passaggi 1,2 e 3 documentati per chiunque abbia bisogno di rimuovere manualmente alcuni pacchetti. Ma prova prima questo https://askubuntu.com/a/490677/26246 che sembra più semplice.

1. Rimuovili manualmente, attenzione se stai ridigitando i seguenti comandi rm -rf è un comando pericoloso quando viene eseguito come root.

   sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/4.4.0-38-generic /lib/modules/4.4.0-42-generic
   sudo rm -rf /usr/share/doc/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic /usr/share/doc/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-42-generic
   sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic* /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-42-generic*
   

2. Cambia il loro stato nel file di stato dpkg.

   Fai il backup per ogni evenienza

   sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.backup0
   

   Trova le voci correlate (comando con output previsto, il numero di riga sarà diverso):

   ~$ grep -n -e "linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic" -e "linux-image-extra-4.4.0-42-generic" /var/lib/dpkg/status
   18488:Package: linux-image-extra-4.4.0-42-generic
   77123:Package: linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic
   

   Apri il file di stato per modificare e cambiare lo stato del pacchetto:

   sudo nano +18488 /var/lib/dpkg/status
   

   da:

   Package: linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic
   Status: install ok installed
   

   a:

   Package: linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic
   Status: deinstall ok config-files
   

   Ctrl +o salvare. Ctrl +x per uscire.

   Apporta le stesse modifiche a linux-image-extra-4.4.0-42-generic .

3. Rimuovi manualmente linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic e anche linux-image-4.4.0-42-generic

   sudo rm -f *4.4.0-38-generic *4.4.0-42-generic
   sudo rm -rf /usr/share/doc/linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic /usr/share/doc/linux-image-4.4.0-42-generic
   

   Come prima, modifica il loro stato in deinstall ok config-files

   $ grep -n -e "Package: linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic" -e "Package: linux-image-4.4.0-42-generic" /var/lib/dpkg/status
   61217:Package: linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic
   98051:Package: linux-image-4.4.0-42-generic
   

4. Rimuovi quel fastidioso file virtualbox

   sudo rm /etc/kernel/postinst.d/vboxadd
   

5. Aggiorna lo stato di dpkg e il menu di grub

   sudo dpkg --audit
   sudo apt-get install -f
   sudo update-grub
