As a workaround, I killed setupcon which was hanging, then it retried at the end, and I killed it again. Then I went into /usr/bin/setupcon as root and wrote in "exit 0" at the top, so it would exit without doing its evil work.
Then: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a at the end. And things seems fixed. So in other words, you can do this change to /usr/bin/setupcon (and just miss whatever changes it does) after you've killed it the first time. Then the last time it tries, things will succeed. Or you can just fix things after the fact. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989396 Title: Package keyboard-configuration post-installation script.
