Edit: don't remove all packages containing the words linux, generic and raring !!! basically just remove the packages linux-image-generic-lts-raring and linux-image-3.8.0-31-generic and another package witch is similar to these two (have forgotten the exact name).
Update: After I deleted 3 packages from the dpkg's status file I was able to update again. I reinstalled dpkg, then I installed synaptic and checked all the ticks in "Other Sources" in the repositories. Then I changed the repositories server to server for Germany "de.archive.ubuntu.com" and reloaded package information. After rebooting I opened update manager and it asked me again to make the same update I did before the bug occured. The Update ended successfuly this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235166 Title: package linux-image-3.8.0-31-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am not able to install linux-image-3.8.0-31 package Ubuntu 3.2.0-54.82-generic 3.2.50 ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: linux-image-3.8.0-31-generic (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-54.82-generic 3.2.50 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-54-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu12 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: asif 1715 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
