[kwlug-disc] Version Mismatch Ubuntu 12.04 linux-image-generic

[unsolicited]

I will assume you have run 'apt-get update'.

I recently ran into the same thing.

Two approaches:

1. Ignore it for a few days / until the next update. Hopefully the 
repository fiddly bits and pieces will get sorted out over time and the 
next one will come down properly.

2. Uninstall the problem kernel, which will cause linux-generic to 
uninstall, then immediately reinstall linux-generic.

- this assumes repository fiddly bits confusion, be it at their end, or 
yours. If that's not true, 2. should merely land you where you are 
already. In which case, see 1.

e.g. Something like:

aptitude remove linux-image-3.2.0.36-generic
aptitude safe-upgrade linux-generic
