[Bug 567941] Re: package linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic 2.6.32-21.32 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 137

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  It seems that there was an error on your system when
trying to install a particular package.  Please execute the following
command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the update again.  This will likely resolve your
issue, but the failure can be caused by filesystem or memory corruption.
So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test.  If
this does resolve your bug please set its status to Invalid.  Thanks in
advance!

Title:
  package linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic 2.6.32-21.32 failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script
  returned error exit status 137

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  when the package runs the post-installation trigger which executes the
  update-grub it hangs the process in 30_os-prober requiring a CTL-C or
  a killall of 30_os-prober itself. I've left it sit as well to see if
  its just being 'slow' (for as long as 15 minutes) and still nothing.
