[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]

On my next boot I found my root partition was borked. I ran an fsck on
it and allowed it to correct everything. I ended up with a ton of inodes
connected to lost+found but I am back up and running. I am having doubts
about SSD disks, this is my second on two machines that have done me in.
Luckily I only use it for OS versions. I don't know if the upgrade
killed my disk or if it was already failing. Luckily all my data is on a
spinning mounted disk.

I will mark this bug report as solved. Had to use invalid, it appeared to be the only status close to reasonable. The report should be left here in case it was the upgrade that triggered it. 
Note: after I did the fsck "fix" the upgrade went through ok.

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:
  Invalid

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.
