Bug Description
[Impact]
Some upgrades from xenial to bionic break.
[Test Case]
Change sources.list from xenial to bionic, then apt install linux-image-
[Regression Potential]
The kernel may be uninstallable if there is no linux-base with the appropriate version in the archive.
----
When installing the linux-image-
/var/lib/
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
If the trigger is called, when some meta packages are installed, it won't happen. If all packages are upgraded, it's possible linux-base is going to be upgraded first, so the problem won't happen either.
So, not all upgrades will be affected.

kernel 4.15.0-20, backported to 16.04:
install is okay, BUT no boot (kernel panic); afterwards, the kernel is uninstallable!
The same behaviour is found with kernel 4.19.0-19 for bionic.
Had to remove the .postinit, .postrm, etc. files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ in order to be able to use the apt commands....
The same behaviour is found with kernel 4.19.0-19 for bionic.
