I've been using Ubuntu Server for a few months now.
I'm getting the below OUTPUT after running sudo apt-get -f upgrade:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-44-generic
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 1 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
2 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 152 MB disk space will be freed.

I've tried all the Google results I can find that seem relevant including sudo apt-get remove and sudo apt-get autoremove, but to no avail.

This was fixed due to the help of @g_p and @muru, who pointed out the low disk space issue. Specifically @muru's link helped a lot. Be careful though, that you don't do what I did, and end up removing files that are actually important to the running of the PC (like the network). :)
