[Bug 1770905] Re: package shim-signed 1.34.9+13-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: installed shim-signed package post-installation script subprocess was killed by signal (Terminated)

The output in your dpkg log shows:

This suggests that you were prompted via debconf to enter a password for use with MokManager to configure a machine owner key in your UEFI firmware; but instead of answering the password prompt, you tried to enter text at the terminal.

I can see from the information attached to the bug that this is a Dell
system that shipped with Ubuntu preinstalled.  What I can't see is how
you did this upgrade, or why you did not see the debconf prompt.  Can
you provide more information about how you did this upgrade?
