Bug Description

Happened while setting up new Ubuntu Installation on an UP Board SBC following the steps in the wiki linked here: https://wiki.up-community.org/Ubuntu

One step was not performed properly. On removing the generic installed kernel, a warning message came up for one of the packages and I improperly clicked abort rather than letting it proceed, and now errors are appearing.
