I'm new to Ubuntu system. My server runs on Ubuntu 16.0.4 and kernel is 4.4.0-98-generic as shown by uname -r. I have successfully removed some of kernel images, but I'm experiencing the issue with the linux-image 4.4.0-119. The the output of dpkg -l linux-image* is
$ dpkg -l linux-image*

It seems to me that the linux-image-generic points to 4.4.119.125, but the server was booted with 4.4.0-98. This is where I got confused. If I want to remove the image 4.4.0-119, it gave me:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic:

Package 'linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic' is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic but it is not going to be installed
linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: thermald but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Adding -f didn't help. My question is, apparently 4.4.0.119 is not installed, but why is it in the output of dpkg -l linux-image* and how can I "remove" it? To make it even worse, I cannot run anything with apt-get. BTW, what does the first column of the above dpkg -l mean, for instance, un, ii, or pU?
Any ideas whould be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think you are asking the wrong questions (see XY Problem). Seems like your real problem is that apt won't install anything you wish and you must diagnose the version conflict, not about uninstalling already-removed packages. Since you are new, have many questions, and need help troubleshooting a complex topic, you might find the interactive and mentoring format of ubuntuforums.org more helpful.

@Katu Thx. I tried apt autoremove multiple times; the error is the same: <code>linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic but it is not installed</code> I also tried all commands found at the link ../questions/2793 but none of them resolved the conflict.
