This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux package.

Hi Dave,

Can you comment if this is still an issue for you? I notice the following in your DpkgTerminalLog.txt file:

/usr/share/debconf/confmodule: line 42: printf: write error: Broken pipe
User postinst hook script [/sbin/update-grub] exited with value 1
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.27-14-generic (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I have not been able to use my Ubuntu machine in several weeks.
Please go ahead and close this issue, since I do not know.

David
