package linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic 2.6.27-11.27 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3

This happened while I was updating my system after the GRUB menu.lst wizard. I tried the 3 way experimental merge - not sure if this is what crashed. I've done it before without problems.

I also deleted an old kernel while the update was happening because I wanted to make sure I had room on my /boot partition. I don't think this should cause a problem.

Hi Nate R,

Sorry for the delayed response to your bug here. This looks to be a duplicate of bug 269539. So I am marking it as such.
