[Bug 2037736] Re: Kubuntu installer crashes when installing GRUB

[Sergiu Bivol]

Perhaps this is related: the DPKG database is corrupt, perhaps due to something that happens before the crash.
Mounting the root filesystem in /target and attempting any package operations fails consistently.
Removing the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/adwaita-icon-theme.list (which is a binary file, not text) allows dpkg to work again.
