[Bug 990121] [NEW] package update-notifier-common 0.119ubuntu8.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 143

[Craig Hansen]

Public bug reported:

When performing update-install of 12.04 (from 11.10), update-notifier-
common attempts to download additional software during installation.
When network errors occur, this can take a hideously long time, and
there's no mechanism to abort or restart the download provided. These
downloads should be occuring during the download phase, not the
installation phase.
