[Bug 1319092] Re: package linux-image-extra-3.8.0-35-generic 3.8.0-35.50 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1

 

This can be complicated to fix, but it's not impossible.

This AskUbuntu answer provides a good blueprint:
http://askubuntu.com/a/317871/33812

Remove the metapackages that reference the 'newest' kernels, dpkg
--purge some kernels (keeping a known-working kernel, and preferably one
other), re-add the metapackages to ensure you get future updates, and
hopefully it'll all work on the other end. I suggest asking a question
on AskUbuntu with dpkg -l '*linux*' output, that's a better support
platform.

Thanks
