Since I have trouble updating my system using Software Updater (it always tells me the /boot
is not large enough), I have opted to update using the terminal. So far, until this evening, the terminal way has worked great. First I did
$ sudo aptitude autoclean
which worked great. Then I did
$ sudo apt-get update
which (today) returned the following errors:
W: Failed to fetch

404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
Which is odd because I know "LinuxTrack" is a head-tracking program used with Flight simulation programs, and I don't have any installed, and LinuxTrack is NOT installed either.
Then, during a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
in the terminal, I get the following errors:
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-extra-3.19.0-65-generic (--configure):
package linux-image-extra-3.19.0-65-generic is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status `half-installed')
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-extra-3.19.0-65-generic
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
First I tried the following (I saw how some other users tried these with success):
$ sudo dpkg --clear-avail
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
But they didn't seem to help because I get the same error code stated above. I checked the file /var/lib/dpkg/status
and found the linux-image-extra-3.19.0-65-generic
and right after there is another linux-image-extra-3.19.0-68-generic
file listed, so I'm thinking the 3.19.0-65 is an older version???
What's going on and how do I fix it?
