Okay, I took another stab at doing an upgrade in my VM. It still fails in the same was as before.
I've attached 2 logs. reinstall-20120311.log has the results from the steps listed in comment #5. configure-20120311.log has some debugging output from "dpkg --configure". The first set of output is from /usr/bin/sudo dpkg --configure --debug=2 linux-image-3.2.0-18-generic The second set of output is from the same command, but after I hacked the postinstall script (set $DEBUG=1). ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed ** Attachment added: "reinstall-20120311.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/946100/+attachment/2854523/+files/reinstall-20120311.log -- 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
