E:The package linux-image-4.13.0-21-generic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I can't open anything within the Software Center and Synaptic won't start

You does not find it because that old version is now gone !!!
Synaptic can list the available active versions for sure.

The problem is, that now I can't erase the unstable -and apparently old!- version - if I try to purge or app-get --remove the corrupted file, it says that I have to re-install it first. How can I do that if it no longer exists?!
