Public bug reported:

My latest system upgrade failed because it can't upgrade the kernel:

  $sudo env LANGUAGE=en_US apt-get upgrade
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   linux-signed-image-3.13.0-24-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic (= 3.13.0-24.47) but 3.13.0-24.46 is installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

When trying to install linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic manually it fails
because it can't create a backup link for the old kernel. This really
doesn't surprise me, because /boot is on a fat32 filesystem ( EFI System
Partition ) so it shouldn't be possible to create any links at all.

My fstab entries for boot are as follows:
  UUID=0E1E-3E58    /mnt/efi      vfat    defaults     0  2
  /mnt/efi/ubuntu     /boot           none  bind            0 0

Here is the output of me trying to install the kernel manually:
