Vou começar dizendo que sou um iniciante no Linux. Eu tenho o Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS instalado em uma máquina separada e eu uso para armazenar dados e hospedar alguns serviços. Eu costumo usar o Webmin para atualizar meus pacotes (e outras coisas simples) e não fiz isso por um bom tempo. Hoje eu tentei atualizá-los e é isso que eu vi com cada pacote (215 vezes):

Setting up postfix (2.9.1-5) ...
Postfix configuration was untouched. If you need to make changes, edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed. To view Postfix configuration
values, see postconf(1).
After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-generic-pae : Depends: linux-headers-generic-pae (= 3.2.0.37.44) but 3.2.0.38.46 is to be installed
linux-image-generic-pae : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic-pae but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Como avisado nesta mensagem de erro, conectei-me por SSH e executei:
sudo apt-get -f install

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

Geralmente, eu posso ver que eu tenho um problema com linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic-pae ou simplesmente "linux kernel image".
Por favor, sugira os passos que devo dar para corrigir isso? Ou talvez haja uma maneira de reinstalar os componentes do Ubuntu sem bagunçar minhas configurações? (tipo, como no Windows?) Por favor, tenha em mente que sou um usuário iniciante.
