I reproduced the bug like this:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then from Software Updater update your system, it will hang on unpacking linux-image***, wait a few minutes and force close the Software Updater. Then the bug reporter will show up.

Hey and Thanks!.. I did get it to go. Cleaned things out, enabled
networking at boot and ran dpkg and it blew through it. Blissfully ignorant
trying different things and it went if this info helps

Got mine to go in similar manner.

Cleaned things out, enabled networking at boot and dpkg and it blew right
through it.

I could not get mine to go even after cleaning via terminal with OS booted
to gui.

I had the same problem with linux-image-3.8.0-1--generic.
I solved it with
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
but this is not a solution to the bug itself
