Long story short, my Ubuntu 12.04 VM ran out of space and an update failed. I then increased the disk space but am no longer able to update anything using apt-get.
This is the output of apt-get upgrade:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-headers-generic : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-53-generic but it is not installed linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-53-generic but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
After that I run apt-get install -f and get this output:
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
The following packages will be upgraded:

I'm not that proficient with Linux so I have no idea what to do next. Any help is appreciated. uname -r says 3.2.0-58-generic.
