This problem occured for me on an Intel Pentium III, today during automatic
update installation. The installation stopped because I had made changes to my
/var/run/grub/menu.lst to eliminate the boot time offer to start:
Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic
Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic (recovery mode)
...and...
Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (recovery mode)
...and the package installer wanted to know if it should keep my changes or use
the new version. I tried viewing the differences a couple of different ways,
and then asked the manager to start a shell so I could look at the situation
more carefully. Then I was interrupted, and when I returned after 10 or 15
minutes, the dialog no longer responded and the installer no longer responded.
I started a terminal session, found menu.lst, made a backup copy of it, and
then went to the terminal window of the installer and entered "exit". That
caused the installer to continue to "completion", but resulting in this set of
errors:
E: linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned
error exit status 1
E: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-16-generic: dependency problems - leaving
unconfigured
E: linux-image-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-restricted-modules-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
...and an incomplete installation. So, something is wrong with the
updater. If it stops for input, it doesn't properly wait for that input,
and might end up doing something it shouldn't do without the input it
stopped for.
It'll be interesting to see if I can get the updates properly installed,
or at least uninstalled...
