[Bug 1590892] Re: package util-linux 2.27.1-6ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[loki]

OK I give up.

I keep getting multiple requests to upgrade both the system and apps,
but all of them fail. I'm fed up with typing my password four or more
times a day. The software centre refuses to open, and attempting to
install anything using Synaptic or the terminal also fail.

Seriously, if this is your idea of a stable OS, then for me it's a fail.
Worse than windows.

Time to move on. Just finished downloading mint. Time to try that.

bye.
