Public bug reported:
Apport doesn't allow the upload, because it's a known error.
Since I never had an issue I'd like to report the multiple syntax errors in the
.postinst file of grub-pc.
Terminal output excerpt:
sudo apt upgrade
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Setting up grub-pc (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst: line 703: syntax error near unexpected
token `fi'
dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
grub-pc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I've started to fix grub-pc.postinst step by step, because after
removing the 'fi' in line 703 there occur more and more til line 740,
e.g. semicolons, brackets and at the end it says unexpected end of file,
which I was unable to fix, original it says exit 0. I've tried several
inputs, looked at examples of other .postinst files, but nothing worked.
Renaming /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst and reinstalling grub-pc
didn't help.
dpkg --configure -a
and
dpkg-reconfigure <package>
didn't help.
It would be nice if someone could fix the syntax. Thanks!
