You may need to run the following from a terminal:

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

Then re-install the package or updates.

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

Thanks for the reply.

I tried the steps you mentioned several times and eventually ended up with
a clean update.

The main reason for the update was two fold.

1. The /boot partition was full. I had to manually clear out old versions
of Linux to get enough space for the updates to complete. This happens on
Kubuntu when the user takes security updates automatically, the new Linux
uimages are added but the old ones are not removed. In my opinion, a
command like "sudo apt-get autoremove -y" should be run after new Linux
images have been added.

2. Something went wrong with the update and the wireless driver no longer
worked. The output of iwconfig shows this problem.

In then end, I did a full upgrade from 14.04LTS to 16.04LTS and my
daughter's laptop is working again.

Thanks again for your help.
