Recover Apt
Problem:
ran apt-get dist-upgrade and pc crashed in the middle of the process of upgrading the kernel.
After a forced reboot apt-get update says I must manually dpkg --configure -a,
but this doesn’t work.
apt-get -f install is also suggested but this gives
“unable to execute installed pre-removal script”.
Solution turned out to be installing the kernel-package manually:
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.8.0-25-generic_3.8.0-25.37_amd64.deb
