Consegui corrigi-lo removendo um por um os pacotes com dependências não atendidas usando este comando:
sudo dpkg --purge package-name
e depois
sudo apt-get autoremove
Resumindo meu problema é que minha partição / boot está quase cheia, mas não consigo liberá-la devido a um loop de dependências.
Descrição detalhada:
Estou executando um Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS que tem a partição / boot quase cheia
/boot is using 97.9% of 235MB
Meu kernel:
$ uname -r
3.16.0-39-generic
Estes são meus kernels instalados (por alguma razão o kernel que eu tenho em uso não é o mais recente):
$ sudo dpkg --list 'linux-image*'

Até aí tudo bem, agora você pode pensar "basta excluir os kernels que você não precisa e pronto", bem, acontece que não consigo remover:
$ sudo apt-get -y purge
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-image-extra-3.16.0-43-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.16.0-43-generic but it is not installed
linux-image-generic-lts-utopic : Depends: linux-image-3.16.0-43-generic but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Tentando excluir um pacote no momento, fico praticamente do mesmo jeito:

Ah, OK, então vamos fazer o que o Ubuntu nos sugere para executar o comando 'apt-get -f install' ... bem, acontece que não me deixa porque não tenho espaço suficiente:

Você conhece alguma solução alternativa para resolver esse problema?
Eu consegui automatizar o processo seguindo o exemplo no link
dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2 }' | grep "\-3.5." | xargs dpkg --purge --dry-run
no meu caso, para remover todos os antigos kernels 3.5 * - substituindo o apt-get remove pelo dpkg --purge, uma vez que ele foi apenas em loop com o apt-get.
Eu removi o --dry-run depois de testar o resultado
dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2 }' | grep "\-3.5." | xargs dpkg --purge
Então
apt-get -f install
para concluir a instalação interrompida.
