I would suggest you do as I did. Do not install the buggy kernel update. Go to the menu, select system -> administration ->synaptic and find your installed kernel version. Select it and go to the menu in Synaptic, select package -> lock version. Do the same with the kernel headers. This way it will ignore all future kernel updates, but other packages will install fine.
