[Bug 1660633] Re: /usr/bin/ucfr: line ... : [: : integer expression expected

[Andy]

I don't mean to just link outwards, I did link to the request from the
'Answers' section on here where a full discourse and general looking at
has occurred:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ucf/+question/448737

Which in it details the registry and other components herein. I'd love
to just fold that commentary here as it has deep relevance to your
thinking, however the system doesn't seem to do that when you make an
'Answer' a 'Bug report'.

Outward bound if you choose not to reference my post(s):

Headless server usage here with Linode VPS. I've had an error creep into
my install and it's finally caused me enough serious issue that I have
to find a solution to it. I started a thread over on Ask but I haven't
got any good noggins to throw some light or ideas that I can
troubleshoot down further.

Many packages install/update just fine. A few chads have formed along
these lines:

/usr/bin/ucfr: line 323: [: : integer expression expected
/usr/bin/ucfr: line 110: [: : integer expression expected

And they are causing packages to not finish their configurations and
thus never finish the action. At this point its happened in a grub-pc /
grub2 package and I fear that in trying to solve the end of the problem,
I might have made things worse in that I cannot reboot until I resolve
whatever this issue is at the head.

It isn't an across the board issue. Some packages I see this pop up and
they clean up just fine. Currently, however, grub-pc & grub2, along with
dovecot-core will not finish their installs due to this.

Title:
  /usr/bin/ucfr: line ... : [: : integer expression expected

Status in ucf package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've had a reoccurring issue: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2350682
  Running: ucf_3.0036_all.deb

  http://askubuntu.com/questions/875415/usr-bin-ucfr-errors-integer-expression-expected
  http://serverfault.com/questions/827873/grub-pc-update-fail-dev-sda-ext2-doesnt-support-embedding

  I don't know why ucfr is erroring out but the accumulated errors are
  now enough to stall priority packages which I feel hamstrung about.
  I've reinstalled the ucf package and danced around the issue enough.

  Any maintainers have a shot in the dark for why this would be
  happening?
