Ok, so a while ago I got a system message saying something along the lines of 'no space in /boot', so I went and did a couple of things.
I cleared out some of the old files in /boot, leaving only the most recent ones, but before this, I may have emptied an src file by accident, thinking I was doing the right thing.
It seems now that /usr/local/src is empty - I don't know if this is a good thing or not :-/
Anyway, recently I tried opening the Software Centre and get this error:-
New software cannot be installed, because there is a problem with the software currently installed. Do you want to repair this problem now?
So I click yes, but then after it attempts to 'Repair installed software', get this:

Next I did some searching on here and askubuntu etc etc, and tried doing the following, all with vaguely similar results:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
that gave me this:
bubble@fishtank:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
linux-signed-image-3.16.0-50-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.16.0-50-generic (= 3.16.0-50.67~14.04.1) but 3.16.0-50.66~14.04.1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
so I tried that and got
bubble@fishtank:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

So now I am lost and would really like some help please!
I know I have some parts of the image/kernel missing, or have the incorrect ones as I can understand that much, but I don't know what to do about it.
Please could someone help me?
Thanks in advance. I can copy/paste any outputs you might need.
I cleared out some of the old files in /boot, leaving only the most recent ones, but before this, I may have emptied an src file by accident, thinking I was doing the right thing.
It seems now that /usr/local/src is empty - I don't know if this is a good thing or not :-/

Next I did some searching on here and askubuntu etc etc, and tried doing the following, all with vaguely similar results:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
that gave me this:
bubble@fishtank:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
linux-signed-image-3.16.0-50-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.16.0-50-generic (= 3.16.0-50.67~14.04.1) but 3.16.0-50.66~14.04.1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
so I tried that and got
bubble@fishtank:~$ sudo apt-get -f install
[sudo] password for bubble:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

So now I am lost and would really like some help please!
I know I have some parts of the image/kernel missing, or have the incorrect ones as I can understand that much, but I don't know what to do about it.
Please could someone help me?
Thanks in advance. I can copy/paste any outputs you might need.
