package linux-headers-generic 3.13.0.86.92 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess dpkg-deb --control was killed by signal (Killed)

Attempting do-release-upgrade

A previous kernel package install (version ~3.13) was in an Reinstall state; so I reinstalled and then purged it, using dpkg. System was tested before do-release-upgrade, by rebooting, and checking kernel version (version 4.4...).

apparently fixed by 'sudo touch /usr/sbin/rfkill && sudo apt install linux-headers-generic'

Testing recommended.
