[Bug 1775053] Re: package python3-distupgrade 1:18.04.18 failed to install/upgrade: installed python3-distupgrade package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 139

[John Mavity]

I tried to reinstall the failed packages with:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-firmware python3-software-
properties software-properties-common software-properties-gtk

but got:

Setting up ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk (1:18.04.18) ...
W: APT had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back (28 vs 32).
   Affected packages: python3-distupgrade:amd64

Title:
  package python3-distupgrade 1:18.04.18 failed to install/upgrade:
  installed python3-distupgrade package post-installation script
  subprocess returned error exit status 139

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Just a regular upgrade of my system.  I noticed that while doing the
  update I got:

  Setting up python3-distupgrade (1:18.04.18) ...
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  dpkg: error processing package python3-distupgrade (--configure):
   installed python3-distupgrade package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 139

  looks like a segv. How did it get to be released with a segv? I expect
  the developer to do an install test of his package. It appears to lead
  to these errors:

   Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-firmware_1.173.1_all.deb
   /var/cache/apt/archives/software-properties-common_0.96.24.32.3_all.deb
   /var/cache/apt/archives/software-properties-gtk_0.96.24.32.3_all.deb
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-software-properties_0.96.24.32.3_all.deb
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  I assume the log and my system info will automatically go with this
  report.
