[Bug 1161306] Re: package linux-image-3.8.0-15-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Aurelijus Pitrėnas]

I reproduced the bug like this:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then from Software Updater update your system, it will hang on unpacking
linux-image***, wait a few minutes and force close the Software Updater.
Then the bug reporter will show up.
