Do a full tarball of /boot and then try this: # ls -al --color=always /boot # Will show if you have screwy stragglers not shown in next step. # dpkg -l 'linux-image-*' | grep '^ii' !Note: Do NOT remove anything identified as "meta-package!" from dpkg -l ! # sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-147-amd64 # < verify name is correct! # sudo apt-get purge ... # sudo dpkg --configure -a Then probably best to do a: # sudo apt-get update # sudo apt-get dist-upgrade If you've never done this before, for your piece of mind, maybe wait for Slávek to verify? (or just do an internet search...)
