To confuse matters, when I do 'uname -r' I get: 3.8.0-27-generic. Yet the list above suggests -28 is the latest. I might easily have deleted all but -28, effectively deleting the current kernel.

This really is a horrid state of affairs. As Andy Balaam wrote: "Warning: removing kernel packages can be dangerous, and might even leave your system unable to boot, so please don't do this if you don't understand what is going on". The problem with this error is you are left with no choice.
