problem upgrading to newer kernel

[d0.higgs]

Hi all,

I have finally (after three days of try and fail - where I was trying to install Mint) installed Linux (Xubuntu) on my Toshiba NB505 netbook.
right after installation is done, I tried to upgrade to the latest packages.
I am now having this error message every time I try to in/un-stall a package:

d0.higgs@d0.higgs:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install -f
