[Bug 1002388] Re: package linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic 3.2.0-24.38 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 17
Query re Bug #1048919 and kernels 2.6.32-x, now considered a duplicate of this one: It'swonderful to hear that this problem is likely to disappear for the 3.2.x kernels. Should one hope that the fix will back-propagate to the 2.6.32-x kernels? Also, as a result of this problem, I'm currently stuck having to manually select and boot from an older kernel. I managed to patch up my system for a while by manually running 'update-initramfs -u -k ' following each kernel update. That no longer works. Can anyone suggest a patch up workaround for kernels 2.6.32-42and later? Presumably which will need to be re-applied each time Update Manager installs a new kernel, at least until the fix for the installation makes it intoproduction. Thanks...

That's was the same thing for me after the bug is Fix Released. The only way I found to solve this bug is to uninstall the package linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic via Synaptic.

Symlink still points to non-existent file, so above solution is not correct. The underlying issue is that update-initramfs is not installed correctly ( see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/974765 ) so the image is not generated. The correct solution to this problem is: $ sudo rm /usr/sbin/update-initramfs $ sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/sbin/update-initramfs $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002388 Title: package linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic 3.2.0-24.38 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 17 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1002388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm that Penn's solution does work in creating the /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic file. The symlink is also created properly. However, with the symlink still there, it must be removed or moved first or the above solution will not work.

@Brad What I did to temporarily resolve the issue was to install linux- image-3.2.0-23-generic. It caused the exact same error upon install. I then purged the package linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic. Leaving .24 in place. I can boot with no problems, and the .24 error has vanished. I believe the problem is with initrd.img as it is missing so the sym link goes nowhere.
