Found the problem: My /boot is not mounted during normal system use: $ cat /etc/fstab |grep boot # /boot was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=38d3680f-7c05-40fd-a409-2c4d6460a732 /boot ext2 relatime,noauto 0 2
Doing $ sudo mount /boot before $ sudo aptitude full-upgrade fixed the issue. Ideally of course, the post-install script should not assume that /boot is mounted... -- package linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic 2.6.28-15.52 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440391 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
