Ubuntu upgrade[8.04->8.10] Could not install 'linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic'

[John]

After installing the Intrepid Ibex upgrade, an error message popped up. It says:

"Could not install 'linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic'

The upgrade will continue but the 'linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic' package may be in a not working state. Please consider submitting a bugreport about it.

subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3"

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

W: Unable to locate package linux-image-2.6.27.7-generic

I expected Ubuntu to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. Instead, error messages popped up prompting me to send a bug report.
