package linux-image-3.8.0-15-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Scott Moore]

Same thing happened on both this 32-bit machine and a 64-bit machine while running a routine update. Update Manager just freezes, had to kill it. On the 64-bit machine, had to apt-get upgrade -f and then reboot to repair.
