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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1235166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
