Title:
  "Cound not install 'syslinux-themes-debian'" in Cleaning up  phase of
  GUI Kubuntu 14.10 upgrade

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  (This is a duplicate of bug  #1385016, but `apport-collect 1385016`
  tells me not to report a dupe, so I used `ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-
  upgrader` to file this even though it tells me not to file a new bug.
  ?!)

  Similar to bug #1385016, but I followed
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UtopicUpgrades/Kubuntu to run the
  GUI release upgrade.

  Just like that bug, the alert dialog has "subprocess installed post-
  removal script returned error exit status 127"

  It's in the Cleaning up phase and /var/log/dkpg.log has

  2014-10-25 17:56:48 status installed syslinux-themes-debian:all 12-3
  2014-10-25 17:56:48 remove syslinux-themes-debian:all 12-3 <none>

  2014-10-25 17:56:49 status half-configured syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3
  2014-10-25 17:56:49 status half-installed syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3

  2014-10-25 17:56:51 status config-files syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3

  So I think the upgrader is trying to remove this package, not install
  it.

  I tried reporting this from the [Report bug] button in the Error dialog, but that failed with
    Chromium can not be run as root.
    Please start Chromium as a normal user. ...
