apt - Stuck removing linux-image-extra-4.10.0-19-generic

My Ubuntu 17.04 install recently to 4.10.0-21-generic and I was prompted to remove theh 4.10.0-19 kernel. However after running sudo apt autoremove it hangs on this step:



Removing linux-image-extra-4.10.0-19-generic (4.10.0-19.21) ...                                                                                                                                                                 
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal 4.10.0-19-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-19-generic
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 4.10.0-19-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-19-generic



Any ideas? I'm unable to install any other packages/update packages as it always tries to remove this to no avail.



Any pointers will be much appreciated.
