Close or delete this bug - 
I have 64-bit versions of Ubuntu AND Win-8.  
But an OLD BIOS that does not support uEFI.
While updating Grub thru Ubuntu, it somehow decided I would need uEFI, and installed it.
Then allhell broke loose. I kept getting errors with every apt-get update, including BOOT-REPAIR, until I finally manged to remove 
the OS-Prober and the UEFI.
Now, my main problem is that my Grub-update does not see my Win-8 boot anymore! (But I'm in no hurry to boot Win8 )  ;-)
But that's another issue!  (I think) 
Consider this as something other than a bug. Unless you advise otherwise.

Title:
  package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic is not
  ready for configuration  cannot configure (current status `half-
  installed')

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Trying to use Synaptic to remove all the excess kernels (except latest 3 or 4).
    3.13.0-24 package must be broken or something....
  As well, Grub seems to want to use EFI, but I am on an old Mainboard AWARD BIOS, and don't know how to get rid of this EFI stuff.
  Currently booting Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8. (NOT 8.1) with 8GB of RAM. -
  Ubuntu 3.13.0-43.72-generic 3.13.11.11

  Basically, all is ok-  i.e. I can use Grub to boot either Windows or
  Ubuntu,  but package maintenace keeps giving me these EFI errors!
