Sorry to answer so late. @Kristoffer: I did the things you mentioned, it didn't help.
what helped me was to boot into recoverymode and use the dpkg-option there, I also recognized that nvidia might be a part of the problem (I also suspected the displaylink I am using) So after rebooting again into normal mode I removed everything nvidia and displaylink, installed the recent kernel packages without any problems and then reinstalled nvidia and displaylink. Since then apt did some additional kernel updates and removed old ones without problems. I am sorry that I can't really reproduce the exact setup with kernel and nvidia packages being updated maybe at the same time which I assume could cause this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675674 Title: package linux-image-4.8.0-44-generic 4.8.0-44.47 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Terminated) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Installation of this package using apt hangs at 'run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 4.8.0-44-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.8.0-44-generic' with no process activity observable by htop or others. killing the process and running 'dpkg --configure -a' hangs at the same position, 'apt purge *4.8.0-44*' hangs at the same position.
