Title:
  package libpam-systemd:i386 229-4ubuntu10 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 128

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Although the automatic bug report above refers to systemd, the situation I experienced was different.
  I was allowing the automatic updates to proceed, and the small panel which shows progress was stuck at a point where it was displaying "configuring tvtime ..."  or something like that.  The panel grayed out and stayed that way until I eventually closed that little panel, generating the bug report you now have.

  In fact this is the second bug report from me in 3 days.  The earlier
  bug report was caused as a result of the attempt to install the tvtime
  package for the first time.   ( tvtime 1.0.2-11-ubuntu3 ).
