SOLVED.

I thought I had already installed the fake-pae package, but it turned
out that I did not. To make matters worse there is no such thing as apt-
add-repository or add-apt-repository on my system, not even after
installing python-software-properties (and thereby installing
unattended-upgrades, ouch!).

After adding the repository (in synaptic):
URI: http://ppa.launchpad.net/prof7bit/fake-pae/ubuntu/
Distribution: quantal
Section(s): main

and getting the key:
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E54EEAA4

and:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends upgrade

I could bring my machine up-to-date in Xubuntu 12.10 (in a few runs,
because apt-get "holds back" a number of packages, which I installed
"sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install <packagelist>").


I did not expect that I could not upgrade while I had a pae kernel already installed and running.

Title:
  package linux-image-3.5.0-39-generic (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess new pre-installation script
  returned error exit status 1

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This may have to do something with the processor, which does not
  expose the PAE flag. My machine is a Panasonic CF-18 Toughbook, and
  should have an Intel Pentium M 735 processor. However, I could install
  the pae kernel just fine and booted into it just fine before upgrading
  from 12.04 LTS to 12.10. It is in the middle of the upgrade that this
  error occurred.
