Public bug reported:
Package: ubuntu-helper-virt-hwe
Version: 1:10.2.1+ds-1ubuntu4
The package ubuntu-helper-virt-hwe install a hook to Apt
(/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-ubuntu-virt.conf) which is not properly removed
when this package is removed. The workaround is to either immediately
purge the package while it is still installed or to manually remove the
Apt hook. Removing and then purging does not work.
Steps to reproduce:
sudo apt install ubuntu-helper-virt-hwe
sudo apt remove ubuntu-helper-virt-hwe
sudo apt install hello
Output:
...
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/apt_hook_ubuntu_virt returned an error code (127)
Error: Failure running script /usr/bin/apt_hook_ubuntu_virt
Workaround 1:
sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-ubuntu-virt.conf
sudo apt purge ubuntu-helper-virt-hwe
sudo apt install hello
Workaround 2:
sudo apt install ubuntu-helper-virt-hwe
sudo apt purge ubuntu-helper-virt-hwe
sudo apt install hello
