I reproduced the bug like this: sudo apt-get install -f sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
Then from Software Updater update your system, it will hang on unpacking linux-image***, wait a few minutes and force close the Software Updater. Then the bug reporter will show up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1161306 Title: package linux-image-3.8.0-15-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1161306/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
