Title:
  package linux-image-2.6.32-33-386 (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script
  returned error exit status 2

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  System: 10.04 LTS
  Last system update via Update Manager on 22-Jun-2011, so lots of updates.
  31 of 34 downloads succeeded, but one of the linux-image, or linux-headers, or linux-headers-generic for 2.6.32-33 hung at 90% download
  (sorry, I didn't write down which one)

  After that, got warning of dependency failure, and "do you want to continue anyway?" Said yes.
  Then, received this error notice.

  E: linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic: subprocess installed
         post-installation script returned error exit status 2
  E: linux-image-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
  E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

  At this point Update Manager said another 51 packages needed installing.
  After this, during config phase, received same error notice as above.

  Tried removing, and reinstalling
    linux-headers-2.6.32-33
    linux-headers-2.6.32-33-generic
    linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic

  When no new packages were downloaded, tried complete removal and reinstall.
  But at this point, SPM does not have an entry for 'linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic' so selected linux-image-2.6.32-33-386 along with the two header packages.

  After install received the same errors as before.

  Synaptic Package Manager shows no broken dependencies.

  I have re-removed completely these three packages.
  Update Manager says I have an up-to-date system.
