[Bug 1559780] Re: package libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1ubuntu3.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Steve Langasek]

Your dpkg log shows:

Setting up libpam-runtime (1.1.8-3.1ubuntu3.2) ...
Use of uninitialized value $reply in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Passthrough.pm line 66.
Use of uninitialized value $reply in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Passthrough.pm line 67.

dpkg: error processing package libpam-runtime (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

This may be a transient problem with your debconf environment.  You
should be able to correct this problem by running 'sudo dpkg --configure
-a' from the commandline.
