[Bug 1851723] Re: package cryptsetup 2:1.6.6-5ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script was killed by signal (Illegal instruction)

[Steve Langasek]

"Illegal instruction" is unlikely to be a bug in the actual software.
Is this problem reproducible if you try to install again on the same
hardware?  (Did the installation of Ubuntu 16.04 succeed after this
error?)

Any particular reason you're installing Ubuntu 16.04 rather than the
current LTS, Ubuntu 18.04?
