package linux-image-4.15.0-30-generic 4.15.0-30.32~16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: package linux-image-4.15.0-30-generic is already installed and configured

[Christopher Bishop]

I switched my PC on, checked for updates via Ubuntu Software, clicked Install and all seemed to go well. Then I ran Software Updater, and it searched for updates, then came up with 'Please restart your computer', which I did, but not before I'd seen a 'System Error' Message. PC did not shut down, so I hard-booted it with on/off switch. The system started, but still giving a 'System Error' warning. Hence this report.
