[Bug 1219882] Re: package linux-headers-3.8.0-19 3.8.0-19.29 failed to install/upgrade: package linux-headers-3.8.0-19 is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')

 

Hello. I'm having the same error and it's preventing me from upgrading
to 13.10 right now. If I do ``sudo apt-get install -f`` as you suggest,
I get:

dpkg: error processing linux-headers-3.8.0-30 (--configure):
 package linux-headers-3.8.0-30 is not ready for configuration
 cannot configure (current status `half-installed')
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-3.8.0-30-generic:
 linux-headers-3.8.0-30-generic depends on linux-headers-3.8.0-30; however:
  Package linux-headers-3.8.0-30 is not installed.
