package linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[John Adrian Clark]

This problem appears to have developed whilst trying to install code::blocks I suspect there may be a clash with the C++ compiler that code::blocks wants to use and a C++ installer already installed

You may need to run the following:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"
