Anyway, IMHO it doesn't matter what kind of install - it should not fail to install. BTW: The image used is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer- amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz I've already added the 'set -x' as shown above. The 1st line of the output shows, how it has been done (because there is no vi[m] available in the install environment), and the remaining lines show the output after resuming the install (I guess, the installer redirects everything to /var/log/syslog, otherwise I wonder, where else the output gets captured.). Anyway, I can see two lines prefixed with a '+', so I guess, that 'set -x' does what it should, but there is simply not more than this. IIUC, it does not hurt, if it fails - can be done later/on demand as well. So why not append a '|| true' or remove it completely from postinstall ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to makedumpfile in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687791 Title: Install of kdump-tools fails Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When installing Ubuntu xenial via netimage, installation fails because of an error, when configuring the kdump-tools. /var/log/syslog says: ...
