[ubuntu-za] Upgrade error

[Jan Greeff]

Thanks Frans, tried to install aptitude via Synaptic, same error report 
as with the original problem:
E: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-100-generic: subprocess installed 
post-removal script returned error exit status 1
E: linux-image-3.13.0-100-generic: subprocess installed post-removal 
script returned error exit status 1

On sudo apt update on command line I get: W: GPG error: 
http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures 
couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 
4DF9B28CA252A784

On attempt to install aptitude via command line I get the same again as 
before:
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-3.13.0-100-generic (--remove):
  subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-100-generic
  linux-image-3.13.0-100-generic
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
