[Bug 986797] Re: package linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic 3.2.0-23.36 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Erick Brunzell]

No surprise here, I'd installed grub to the root partition (sda16) while
installing this test OS:

lance at lance-desktop:~$ grub-probe -vv --target=device /
grub-probe: info: cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map'.
/dev/sda16

Is this the rest of what you wanted:

lance at lance-desktop:~$ cat /proc/self/mountinfo
15 20 0:14 / /sys rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - sysfs sysfs rw
16 20 0:3 / /proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - proc proc rw

Or do I need to poke about in the history logs?

I'm super tired ATM so excuse me if I'm being dense. One thing I think I
should mention is that of these four errors the first to appear during
the upgrade process was bug 986798 if that's helpful.

Title:
  package linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic 3.2.0-23.36 failed to
  install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation
  script returned error exit status 2

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I encountered four errors while upgrading from Oneiric to Precise, and
  upon reboot apport auto-launched reporting all four. This is one of
  them. I have a screenshot to attach and a bit more info so be patient.

  Two of the others are bug 986791 and bug 986792. I also need to clean
  up a couple of duplicates - I've never encountered apport going wild
  with respawning error reports like this so give me a bit to sort this
  out.
