I was running into the same/similar error. Inside of /var/lib/dpkg/updates one of the files appeared to be stopping my update process. The contents of the file was,
#padding #padding #padding #padding #padding repeating for 150 something lines. I moved that file out of /var/lib/dpkg/updates and everything seems to be working fine afterwards. Whether this was the root cause or not I am not sure, but it might be worth while grep(ing) for this in all the files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746519 Title: package linux-image-4.13.0-32-generic 4.13.0-32.35 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1746519/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
