@Joseph I did. IIRC, the "apt-get install -f" failed (see 946113), the "apt-get clean" finished okay, and the "apt-get update" failed partway through with complaints that it couldn't download files that it needed. I may have a typescript file saved in the VM, if you'd like details. At this point I started getting errors about / being read-only, so I rebooted and redid the "apt-get update", which succeeded. I then tried the reinstall, which failed, as described in comment #6.
In hindsight, I think I should have uninstalled update-manager and update-manager-core after the failure of "apt-get install -f", and then retried the "install -f", but I didn't think of that until much later. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946100 Title: package linux-image-3.2.0-17-generic 3.2.0-17.27 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/946100/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
