[Bug 1877521] Re: package linux-image-4.4.0-171-generic 4.4.0-171.200 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 1

Hi, You are reporting this bug report from xenial. Have you only
recently encountered this problem? Have you tried upgrading to bionic or
focal? And the package version of your kernel seems out of date. I see
you have Installed on 2019-05-12 (361 days ago), but even then bionic
was the most current release for over a year already.

Have you tried upgrading to grub2, instead of the legacy grub1?
