package linux-modules-extra-4.4.0-204-generic 4.4.0-204.236 failed to install/upgrade: package linux-modules-extra-4.4.0-204-generic is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')

[Rick Wherley]

Initial 16.04 esm installation went without a hitch. Soon after, software update reported no new updates. Today, updater tried to do updates but discovered some could not be installed without doing a "partial upgrade" first. This error occured during the "partial upgrade", and reported that "package linux-modules-extra-4.4.0-204-generic is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')"
