[Bug 1068222] Re: package console-setup 1.70ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[August Pamplona]

I had the issue. After trying different things....

I created two files, vtrgb and vtrgb.vga as per https://www.apt-
browse.org/browse/ubuntu/bionic/main/all/console-setup-
linux/1.178ubuntu2/file/etc/console-setup (even though I am on Focal
Fossa) and placed them at /etc/console-setup/ .

I ran sudo dpkg --configure -a and the error was gone.
