Finally hat the time to look into the matter. Reason for the error was that the directory /var/lib/update-rc.d got deleted. Copied a version over from another, similar configured system, and the error-message disappeared. No further problem.
Since the problem has appeared nowhere else, it seem to be confined to one system. No idea why /var/lib/update-rc.d got deleted, but in my opinion this bug can be closed. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- package grub-common 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: post-installation - exit status 2 - Died at /usr/sbin/update-rc.d line 57. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
