[Bug 1922096] [NEW] package friendly-recovery 0.2.41ubuntu0.20.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed friendly-recovery package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[John Hesling]

Public bug reported:

Sorry if this is not helpful !  From an automated prompt to report
issues & I am not sure what other info provided or required.

May be relevant background that this is a multiboot laptop & upgrade is
from 16.04 via 18.04 using GUI not cli methods.  Other errors apparently
occurred whilst upgrading.

I note there is a confirmed bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1919019
