Any suggestions, please?
Try-
Deletesudo apt get update
then remove the kernel.
The same error.
DeleteMandar, the packages should be removed using the following command:
ReplyDeletesudo apt-get remove 'linux-headers-3.16.1*' 'linux-image-3.16.1*'
Note that package names should be quoted with ' and ' so that special character '*' is not interpreted by the shell.
That's what happened in Arthur's case: while invoking the command his working directory contained the deb files and so
linux-image-3.16.1* actually meant
linux-image-3.16.1-031601-generic_3.16.1-031601.201408140014_amd64.deb
But, with 'apt-get remove' you can't specify deb files - you have to use package names instead (see apt-get manpage).
