Hi, I upgraded a Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and got many failed packages configurations during the upgrade. It's likely due to this.
After the upgrade, *before rebooting*, I did dpkg --configure --pending remaining errors were on linux-* packages and initramsfs-tools, still not rebooted. I removed old packages from kernel 3.13 that where still here and caused failures on microcode dpkg --configure -a issue with casper-memdisk Removed it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/624519/upgrade-from-14-04-to-15-04-fails/635679#635679 sudo dpkg -P casper-memdisk dpkg --configure -a success reboot, doesn't boot grub => failsafe in menu select => continue normal boot (actually that's not a normal boot, I guess things like nomodeset have been added) boot success To be continued: to be able to normally boot. But I hope that these details can help someone else.
