E: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 17

Error occurred after running Update Manager and again later after running Package Manager while attempting to install Apache2, MySQL, and PHP5 onto a USB-based ubuntu 2.6.27-7-generic installation.

Have any resolutions been found for this error message? I have been googling it without any resolutions coming up. Hopefully I am not finding the existing solution/s (i.e. there is a solution posted out there "somewhere".

No, I have not found a solution. Instead, I switched my installation
from Ubuntu 8.10 to CentOS 5.2.

Hi Bernard,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 311764

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
