A maioria das minhas outras máquinas também tem todos os números entre 45 e 58. Acho que nem preciso dessa versão 48, preciso?

A remoção ou remoção forçada do pacote correspondente para o tipo de erro abaixo resolverá o problema,

dpkg: error package-name (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Nesta pergunta, leaving unconfiguredocorre um erro para esses três pacotes,

linux-image-generic-pae
linux-headers-generic-pae
linux-generic-pae

Portanto, temos que remover os pacotes executando,

sudo dpkg -r linux-image-generic-pae
sudo dpkg -r linux-headers-generic-pae
sudo dpkg -r linux-generic-pae

Se houver algum problema de dependência ao remover o acima, vá para a forceopção como abaixo, pule-a.

Nota: Escolha a opção forçar somente quando todos os outros métodos não funcionarem.

Remova à força os três pacotes acima executando os comandos abaixo,

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq linux-image-generic-pae
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq linux-headers-generic-pae
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq linux-generic-pae

Agora você pode executar uma atualização,

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get upgrade

Se você deseja que os pacotes sejam reinstalados, execute o procedimento abaixo

sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-pae
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-pae
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae
