You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-generic-pae : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic-pae but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
现在我不知道该怎么做，尤其是我不想弄乱电脑。有什么想法吗？谢谢。
解决方案
我发现我的 /boot 分区已达到 100%，现在无法升级。无法删除旧内核以腾出空间后来。基本上，我按照他的建议去做，[removing] old vmlinuz initrd, abi and System.map files individually直到我有足够的可用空间。我只需要删除前两个。
然后我这样做sudo apt-get install -f，最后使用@Salem 的小 bash 脚本删除大部分旧内核。我按照建议保留了最后两个。最后重新启动，然后如果我这样做，uname -a我会看到新内核现已安装（在我的情况下，是 40）。
答案1
我认为您的问题是 apt 正在尝试安装/删除linux-image-generic-pae，它应该指向可用的最新内核（即linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic-pae），但您安装的最新内核是*39。
因此我建议您运行 apt 建议的命令--dry-run（这只会模拟 apt 会执行的操作）：
sudo apt-get -f install --dry-run
这将让您知道 apt 正在尝试做什么，然后您可以决定它是否可以（如果它尝试安装最新的内核，那没问题，如果它尝试删除您正在使用的内核，最好尝试其他方法）。
之后，可能更好的方法是手动删除每个内核（在您的apt-get purge输出中，它似乎正确地选择了所有内容）。您可以单独指定每个命令，也可以执行以下操作：
for version in {29..38}; do
echo "Removing kernel 3.2.0-$version"
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.2.0-$version-generic-pae
done
