Title:
  package linux-image-3.13.0-36-generic 3.13.0-36.63 failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error
  exit status 1

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I think I already figured out what went wrong. I'm using Ubuntu on a
  very old laptop with a non PAE Intel CPU. I found a workaround to
  enable PAE. For each update I have to use this workaround again,
  otherwise Ubuntu sees the CPU as non=PAE and installation fails. So it
  is not a problem with Ubuntu but with a non PAE CPU.
