I had the same issue but traced it with strace to the dkms task. root 5155 5105 0 09:39 pts/3 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start 4.13.0-17-generic
I killed it several times before the routine finished. The only dkms module I had installed was nvidia-384 so I removed that package and killed the dkms task again several times. Then I restarted the machine to unload the stuck module and let dpkg finish correctly. Later I reinstalled the nvidia package again and everyone was happy again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1733726 Title: package linux-headers-4.13.0-17-generic 4.13.0-17.20 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Terminated) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1733726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
