package linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic 4.4.0-38.57 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

This error I had is probably the effect of a problem in the version update (14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS) that was aborted for some problem I don't know, the window was frozen and I switchet to a terminal but the process was defunct. Then I used the command "dpkg --configure -a" but the new kernel was not able to install and configure then I used "apt -f install" and after reboot the system started with this error

You may need to run the following from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package or updates.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"

As I said I have ran the command [code] sudo apt install -f [/code] and the package got installed but generated the error message when I did reboot. After the first reboot I haven't never see this error
