Thanks for your bugreport This looks like a bug in ucf/update-grub to me, from the log: Paramétrage de linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic (2.6.24-19.34) ...

So this seems like after you entered the shell and exited it again that made ucf/debconf fail with a exit code and that caused the postinst script of the kernel to fail. I will try to reproduce this. I assume you had a gnome dialog that asked you about changes in a config file before the crash? -- package update-manager 1:0.87.27 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
