Title:
  kernel update to 3.13.0-24.47 fails

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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:

    $sudo env LANGUAGE=en_US apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
      efibootmgr secureboot-db shim
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
    Suggested packages:
      fdutils linux-doc-3.13.0 linux-source-3.13.0 linux-tools
    Recommended packages:
      grub-pc grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-ia32 grub lilo
    The following packages will be upgraded:
      linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
