[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]

Just reviewing this and I guess I was somewhat indirect in answering
Colin's question in comment #9.

I installed and updated Oneiric on 4/19 in preparation for iso/upgrade
testing. Other than being on a multi-boot drive the install was typical
- only / + swap - nothing fancy. On 4/22 I booted into that Oneiric
again, updated it, and then ran 'update-manager -d -c'. Downloading and
installing the updates seemed to go great until I encountered these four
errors.

I took screenshots and made notes while the upgrade continued wondering
how I'd go about reporting these but when prompted to reboot I did so
and apport kicked in doing most of the work for me, but I reported at
least two duplicates before I figured out what was going on ;^)

To be honest I don't see a problem. I installed synaptic after all
reporting was done just to use it for examining the situation and those
packages are installed and updated to the proper version. Could this
have just been an apport fluke?

The only other "oddity" I can think to mention is that I use a KVM
switch to share two PC's with the same monitor, keyboard and mouse. But
that's never been an issue in the past. Still worth mentioning, but I
really hadn't done any switching near the time these errors occurred.

I did save this install just in case we might be able to pull any info,
but anticipating that we may need to retest I have a fresh, updated
Oneiric on sda14 now.

I'd also previously done an Ubuntu Lucid -> Precise upgrade and an
Lubuntu Oneiric -> Precise upgrade w/o any errors. But I went ahead and
prepared for retesting just in case we have a rebuild.

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:

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.
