I recently (tried) to update my Linux Mint (18.3, x64) system. It went fine, but I got an error with the configuration scripts for linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic and linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic. For a while, I could install other packages, but after attempting to remove them, I could no longer install anything. To remove them, I have tried:

 sudo apt remove linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic
 sudo apt purge linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic
 sudo apt install -f
 sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq --dry-run linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic
 sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic linux-image-extra-4.13.0-41-generic

None of them removed the packages.

I also get this as when attempting to install a package:

There's not much else I could do besides reinstall the system.

Any other ideas to force remove this package?
