Title:
  package linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script
  returned error exit status 2

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic was initially installed after a
  routine update the nvidia graphics would no longer boot from the grub
  leaving me stuck low graphics mode error showing because the driver
  wasn't loaded.  Linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic had no such problem and
  loaded my nivida graphics drivers in their proper resolution mode.  I
  tried to reinstall  linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic and that's where the
  crash report was generated because it failed to reinstall properly.
  I've now completely removed linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic leaving only
  the fully-functional linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic.

  There's seems to be  a problem in linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic and my
  nvidia driver causing the system to boot from grub into low graphics
  mode because the driver doesn't get loaded.

  I'm glad the crash report got generated and I hope it helps other who
  might be having a similar problem
