Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Release_has_reached_End_of_Life_.28EOL.29

I had this problem before with nearly every kernel update in the past. I have to reboot, use the recovery mode, uninstall nvidia-drivers and then the update of the kernel works. After that I can reinstall nvidia graphics drivers.
