Presuming that these packages listed do not relate to your currently running kernel (compare to uname -a) then I'd look to explicitly remove them and try again.
well the errors appear to relate directly to the versioned packages, so start with them first. You won't need the header packages for normal system use anyway.
After I uninstalled those packages, the errors went away. But when I installed kernel-generic again (because I'd like to have the latest stable kernel automatically) the error came back.
