[Bug 992871] Re: package update-notifier-common 0.119ubuntu8.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 143

[Steve Langasek]

The error in the logs is:

[...]
ttf-mscorefonts-installer: downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/courie32.exe
Terminated
dpkg: error processing update-notifier-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 143

143 is SIGTERM.  Did you kill the maintainer script by hand during the
upgrade?

The dpkg output is also very confusing, showing the output of the
update-notifier-common downloader script interspersed with the output of
other maintainer scripts - this is rather strange since dpkg only ever
runs these scripts one at a time.  Do you know why this output might be
garbled on your system?
