SOLVED:

OK, I think I have fixed it.
I am running Lubuntu 15.04.

My notebook is a Pentium M and I need to have the pae flag added to the cpuinfo file manually. 
I had done this prior to upgrade to 15.04 but it seems to have gotten removed after that.

In Terminal, I first ran the following to check if the PAE flag was still in the cpuinfo file:
sudo grep flags /proc/cpuinfo

In the long string of output, there was no *pae*

So, I followed the instructions for “Upgrading” at this webpage:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE/PentiumM

These instructions manually add the pae to the cpuinfo file.

Then I ran an install fix:
sudo apt-get install -f

Then, closed Terminal and  went into the software updater program, to
check for any needed updates. Things updated correctly and reboot
produced no more errors.

Again, refer to this webpage under *Upgrading* for the Terminal commands
needed:

Title:
  package linux-image-3.19.0-31-generic (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error
  exit status 1

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My notebook doesn't have pae, if that helps. I set the pae flag (pae forced) at last upgrade to 15.04.
  I upgraded to 15.04 about a month ago.  Started to get this error since that upgrade but simply close the error screen and have been able to continue.

  Upgrade to 15.10 gets stopped with this error. I can't upgrade to
  15.10.
