Hi All,
I am running Ubuntu 16.10. I upgrade to the latest kernel but some then this happened. Whenever I run apt autoremove or apt install, im met with a plethora of error messages;
$sudo apt autoremove

The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
linux-generic Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers
linux-image-extra-4.8.0-37-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.8.
linux-image-generic Generic Linux kernel image
linux-signed-generic Complete Signed Generic Linux kernel and headers
linux-signed-image-4.8.0-37-generic Signed kernel image generic
linux-signed-image-generic Signed Generic Linux kernel image
The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
linux-image-4.8.0-37-generic Linux kernel image for version 4.8.0 on 64 bit x8
The following packages are only half installed, due to problems during
installation. The installation can probably be completed by retrying it;
the packages can be removed using dselect or dpkg --remove:
linux-image-4.4.0-59-generic Linux kernel image for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x8
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-59-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.

Thank you so much for your help guys!
