After this the 'Select and install software' dialog pops up and says, that
'Installation step failed'. If one presses '<Continue>', one gets bombed back
into the 'Ubuntu installer main menu'.
Now you get into a loop, when choosing the 'Select and install software' item
from the menu.
Installer image is 'Linux foo 4.4.0-62-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan
18 14:10:15 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux'.
The only workaround found so far is:
cp -p /target/var/lib/dpkg/info/kdump-tools.postinst \
/target/var/lib/dpkg/info/kdump-tools.postinst.suck
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexit 0\n' \
>/target/var/lib/dpkg/info/kdump-tools.postinst
