Upgrador stuck at 85% while setting up linux-headers-4.4.0-146-generic (4.4.0-146.172)

[Ashutosh Nigam]

Similar thing happened around 1 month back. I waited for around 10 hours then restarted the laptop resulting in corrupted os that was not starting, giving errors I do not remember now. I do not want another episode of currpted os.
