Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general.

Not sure if it is relevant, but the upgrade ran out of disk space, even though i had the required amount as stated at the beginning of the install. I noticed space had got v low during the installation of packages (the install did not complain) and paused the install with Ctrl-S while i cleared even more space, probably needed an extra 200-300Mb than was originally stated.

 I have since been able to fix the problem by doing:
apt-get purge linux-image-3.8.0-20-generic
apt-get install linux-image-3.8.0-20-generic
