Error processing package linux image generic

Issue with installing the latest linux image in lubuntu 20.04

Cannot boot normally, I need to use the previous linux image to boot via advanced options. the system returns this when I attempt to update it:

With this terminal output we only have half of the equation. You didn’t tell us which kernel you are trying to install, how you are trying to install it, which command results in this output, or which kernel you currently have. All of these points of info would be helpful.

dpkg error processing linux-image after upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04

I just upgraded to Ubuntu MATE 18.04 from 16.04. There were some hurdles that I would later describe below, but right now, the upgrade is «complete» except for the following set of errors while dpkg is setting up packages, resulting in failure when trying to update anything.

Bus error (core dumped) dpkg: error processing package linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic (--configure): installed linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 135 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-generic: linux-image-generic depends on linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic; however: Package linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package linux-image-generic (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-112-generic: linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-112-generic depends on linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic | linux-image-unsigned-4.15.0-112-generic; however: Package linux-image-4.15.0-112-generic is not configured yet.

1. I first ran do-release-upgrade at work, but I stopped the download quite early on because the Internet wasn’t stable.
2. I noticed my Apache is not working properly, so I tried do-release-upgrade again. I got a warning saying I should upgrade to the latest patch, and I found that it’s «up to date» with around 1500 packages «kept back»
3. After a bit of browsing, I ran apt-get install -f . It downloaded around 650mb of packages, and after I restarted, the OS ran but with a broken GUI that looks like Windows 98.
4. I ran apt-get dist-upgrade and it downloaded around 1.5gb of packages. After it finished, I rebooted and the OS is working «fine» except the errors above. Though Apache is still not working properly.

I’m sorry if I broke any rule. This is my first post. I’d be really grateful for any help from this community. Right now I’m making a backup of important files in case I end up having to reinstall my Linux, but I really hope I can keep going with this one. Thank you for reading.

Edit: Running uname -r shows 4.4.0-187-generic .

Edit 2: I’ve purged the older kernels too. The same error still happens.
