It seems to be a debconf problem. The following exists with exit code 10: LANG=C DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer sudo debconf /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure LANG=C sudo debconf --frontend=readline /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure
But this one succeeds (notice the additional "sh"): LANG=C sudo debconf --frontend=readline sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure ** Also affects: debconf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- package samba-common 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492257 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
