upgrade fails with unmet dependencies

[robert rottermann]

Hi there,


on one of my live servers I wanted to do an apt upgrade.

It failed with an error, and now every attempt to upgrade fails.

Can somebody give me a pointer how to fix this?


thanks very much

robert

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  linux-image-extra-4.4.0-81-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic but 
it is not installed
  linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic but it is not 
installed
                        Recommends: thermald but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
