[Bug 891694] Re: package linux-image-2.6.32-35-generic 2.6.32-35.78 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Take a look at your /var/log/syslog file.  Your disk, /dev/sda, may be
starting to fail:

[ 2059.053039] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 137671527
[ 2059.053072] ata3: EH complete

Title:
  package linux-image-2.6.32-35-generic 2.6.32-35.78 failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script
  returned error exit status 2

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  For several days update manager has notified of existing updates. After downloading /installing some of the updates (lynx) repeatedly error messages (files not installed, segmentation failure, etc.) leave the same files undone-
  in the details the last failure note says:
  linux-image-2.6.32-35-generic
  linux-image-generic
  linux-generic

  Tried to cut/paste the entire note but no joy. Sorry.

  Is this a problem unique to my laptop (toshiba satellite m55?, has
  been running ubuntu 8-9-and now 10.04 w/o problems) or is this an
  error inherent in the update?

  Thanks much for the help
