[Bug 1410272] Re: package linux-image-3.13.0-40-generic 3.13.0-40.69 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

 

In general, apt-get purge the linux-image-generic linux-image linux-
headers linux-headers-generic linux-generic   packages.

Then you can delete some image files from /boot/ by hand; once one or
two are deleted, use apt-get purge to delete the corresponding packages
(linux-image-*-generic, linux-headers-*-generic). Be sure to keep at
least two bootable kernels.

Once you've finished removing packages, re-install the linux-image-
generic linux-image linux-headers linux-headers-generic linux-generic
packages to ensure you continue to get security updates.
