[Bug 1077588] Re: package update-notifier-common 0.119ubuntu8.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 137

[Bryce Nesbitt]

For me it stuck during an upgrade (along with the warning that if I interrupted the process my system might be unusable).
I was able to get past it by using:
