[Bug 1816319] Re: package shim-signed 1.33.1~14.04.4+13-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Killed)

[Steve Langasek]

I'm sorry to tell you that this wasn't an infinite loop, it was going
through the process of generating signed kernel module files for each of
the kernel versions you have installed and you have a LOT of kernel
versions installed.  You might want to try running 'sudo apt autoremove
--purge' to remove the older unused kernels, since they waste space on
your system and slow down all upgrades of bootloader packages.

Be sure to check the output of this command before saying 'Y', to ensure
only the packages you expect to remove are being removed.
