I'm not able to extract useful hints from the logs: too many thing could have caused this error and the logs don't help narrow things down.
LP#1806162 might be the same issue but there aren't enough hints to be sure. In any case, I'm going to mark the current bug as Incomplete and work on the other one which is much more recent. ** Changed in: openssl (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1806162 Title: package libssl1.1:i386 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed libssl1.1:i386 package post-installation script subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Status in openssl package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: ran sudo apt-get install update then sudo apt-get install upgrade and received this error.
