Just had a headache myself today with having to fix a broken kernel 4.14.36 and 4.14.37 which could not be removed due to symbolic link errors.
Referring to this Q&A: Remove broken PPA package with unknown option, but following my “cheat” method, edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/context.postrm and after the line:
#!/bin/sh
insert the line
exit 0
Save the file and use:
sudo apt install -f
It should run without any errors now.
