Give this a try (and yes I've tested/used on my systems) from a terminal:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

If you are then still having problems, try:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools
$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
