Error-Message: Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-extra-4.4.0-62-generic

Fix:

  • uname -a to check which kernel you currently use
  • ls /boot/ to show the kernels on the system

You can now remove all not-used kernels. For example if you have vmlinuz-4.4.0-51-generic on /boot/,

run sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-51-generic to remove it.
