package linux-image-3.8.0-16-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Robert Cress]

Running Xubuntu 13.04 daily build from March 31st.

I did an update using sudo apt-get upgrade. Update manager indicated that I still had updates to install. I clicked on it and tried to install the remaining kernal updates. It froze in the middle of the update, forcing me to restart. This error greeted me upon rebooting.
